Real User Monitoring for LCP, INP and CLS — admin dashboard, local history, presets and JSON export.

== Description ==

**Core Web Vitals Dashboard by Volade** brings CrUX-style metrics inside WordPress — without a mandatory SaaS subscription or PageSpeed-only spot checks.

* **RUM beacon** — lightweight front-end script collects LCP, INP and CLS from real visitors
* **Local history** — samples stored in your database, p75 summary and 14-day LCP chart
* **Admin widget** — 7-day vitals at a glance on the WordPress dashboard
* **4 agency presets** — SEO agency, WooCommerce, regression watch, client report
* **JSON export** free without account
* **Site Health** test and **WP-CLI** `wp cwvd status|preset|export|prune`
* Embedded **Volade SDK** — discover, XP, V+ premium

= vs alternatives =

* **PageSpeed Insights / Lighthouse** — lab snapshots, no persistent WordPress history
* **SaaS RUM (SpeedCurve, DebugBear)** — monthly fees, data leaves your stack
* **GA4 Web Vitals** — sampling, privacy config, not admin-native

Works without a Volade account (RUM, dashboard, presets, export). Connect for per-URL breakdown and alert email. V+ for extended history, multisite rollup and WP-CLI bulk.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin ZIP via Plugins → Add New → Upload
2. Activate **Core Web Vitals Dashboard by Volade**
3. Open Volade → Core Web Vitals (or Settings → Core Web Vitals)
4. Apply a preset and visit the front-end as a guest to seed samples

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this replace Google Search Console CrUX? =

No — it complements CrUX with on-site RUM you control. Useful between GSC updates and after deploys.

= Where is data stored? =

In WordPress options (`cwvd_samples`, `cwvd_daily`) on your server — not sent to Volade unless you connect for premium features.

= Do I need a Volade account? =

No for RUM collection, dashboard, presets and JSON export.

== Changelog ==

= 1.0.0 =
* RUM beacon for LCP, INP, CLS
* Admin dashboard, widget, 4 presets
* JSON export, Site Health, WP-CLI
* Volade SDK embedded
