Custom site performance reports with the CrUX Dashboard

Continuous performance monitoring is crucial to identify trends and regressions before they negatively affect your site engagement and bottom line metrics. The Chrome UX Report (CrUX) enables you to track user experience and performance metrics for millions of origins -- and yes, you can even compare competitors' performance head-to-head! Today we're releasing the CrUX Dashboard that you can use to better understand how an origin's performance evolves. It's built on Data Studio and automatically syncs with the latest datasets and can be easily customized and shared with everyone on your team.

Go try it out at g.co/chromeuxdash -- it only takes a minute to set it up! There are a few one-time confirmation prompts, so if you have any hesitation refer to this helpful walkthrough video:

There are now three ways to explore the Chrome UX Report dataset, so let's see what makes this one so special.

1. BigQuery is great for slicing and dicing the raw data at will across any number of origins. You get 1 TB of querying for free each month and a billing account is required to cover any overages.

2. PageSpeed Insights allows you to explore the latest snapshot of the user experience for a single URL or origin. You can see how the page load performance is distributed in a web interface or API.

3. The CrUX Dashboard enables you to see how the user experience of an origin changes over time. All of the data querying and visualizing is done for you with unlimited free usage and the data is automatically updated for you.

This dashboard is built on Data Studio , Google's dashboarding and reporting platform that is free to use. Under the hood, the entire data pipeline is managed for you thanks to the Chrome UX Report's community connector. All you need to do is enter an origin and it will load the data and generate the visualizations for you. It's even open source, so you can explore how it works in the GoogleDataStudio/community-connectors repository on GitHub.

In this release we've set you up with three charts:

1. First Contentful Paint
2. Device Distribution
3. Connection Distribution

Each chart includes historical data so you can see how the distribution changes over time. And this really is a live dashboard; the visualizations will automatically update after each monthly release.

Some features we're exploring for future improvements are more metrics like First Input Delay, better error handling of unrecognized origins, and the ability to compare multiple origins. If you have any suggestions to make the dashboard even better, we'd love to hear from you on the forum or @ChromeUXReport.
