How To Measure Visitor Performance Cost With BetterShield?
Read BetterShield's sampled measurement of the work it adds to visitor page views.
In BetterShield, BetterShield’s effect on page speed can appear on BetterShield › Overview after enough visitor samples are available.
What it does
BetterShield samples one visitor page view in 20 and reports the time and work attributable to its own visitor-facing code. It is not a full site-speed test and does not measure work added by other plugins, the theme, hosting, or the network.
Step 1: Measure Visitor Performance Cost
No switch is required. Leave the site running long enough to collect samples, then return to the Overview.
Recommended settings
Compare the figure over time and after changing a BetterShield protection that runs on visitor requests. Use a separate performance tool for total page performance.
What it can break and how to undo
Sampling only measures. It does not change caching or page output. There is no site change to undo.
Final Outcome
After traffic supplies enough samples, the card should show a result and its sample context. A low-traffic site may not show it immediately.
