      • Performance Pages: Number of pages scanned for performance issues.

      • Avg. Performance Score: The average of the overall performance score percentage. This is a weighted average of the metric scores, which means that some metrics have more impact on your overall Performance score. This figure is calculated in the background, it is not an average of the statistics in the shown categories.

      • Avg. First contentful paint (FCP): Milliseconds with diff since the last scan. First content paint marks the time at which the first text or image is painted by measuring how long it takes the browser to render the first piece of DOM content after a user navigates to your page.

      • Avg. Largest contentful paint (LCP): This metric represents the time duration between the user initiating the page load and the page rendering its primary content.

      • Avg. Time to interactive (TTI): Milliseconds with diff since the last scan. Time to interactive refers to the amount of time it takes for the page to become fully interactive. Measuring TTI is important as some sites optimize content visibility at the expense of interactivity, which can lead to a frustrating user experience. This is because the site may appear to be fully loaded, but when the user attempts to interact with it, nothing happens.

      • Avg. Speed Index (SI): This metric shows the speed at which the content on a page is visibly populated.

      • Avg. Total Blocking Time (TBT): This is the sum of all time periods between FCP and Time to Interactive when the task length has exceeded 50ms, expressed in milliseconds.

      • Avg. Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): This is the measurement of the movement of visible elements within the viewport.
