6-Week Monitoring Timeline
- ✓Run Lighthouse audit on all 5 pages
- ✓Document baseline scores
- ✓Identify top 3 optimization opportunities
- ✓Prioritize fixes by impact
- ✓Implement quick wins (image optimization, caching)
- ✓Re-run audits and compare
- ✓Document improvements
- ✓Assess if SSG needed based on metrics
- ✓Monitor Google Search Console for indexing progress
- ✓Track keyword rankings (if using SEMrush/Ahrefs)
- ✓Prepare Phase 7: SSR/SSG decision doc
- ✓Plan ongoing monitoring cadence
Baseline Testing: Run all audits on 2026-05-11 and document results. This establishes your starting point.
Mobile vs Desktop: Google prioritizes mobile performance. Test both, but focus on mobile scores.
Network Conditions: Test on 4G network for realistic user experience. Use Chrome DevTools throttling.
SSG Decision: If Core Web Vitals remain problematic after optimizations, plan for Static Site Generation (Phase 7).
