FIX: We added ManageWP – Multi-site management plugin on all test sites. It helps to update all plugins & themes at once so that all test sites are identical to each other in terms of WordPress core, theme, and plugin versions. Now, our benchmarks will be even more accurate.
Rolling back the idea of using Cloudflare CDN on all test sites.
Update: We have removed WebPageTest.org and added GTMetrix.com for Core Web Vitals testing. GTMetrix is more convenient and provides better flexibility when running advanced Core Web Vitals tests.
