This site, measured honestly
I tell people to instrument before they optimise. It would be a poor look not to do it here. These are Core Web Vitals collected from real visits to this site — not a lab score from an ideal machine on an ideal network.

What this is, and what it is not
Every visitor's browser reports LCP, INP, CLS, TTFB and FCP to a small endpoint on this site. The figures above are the 75th percentile of those samples — the percentile Core Web Vitals is actually assessed on, because an average hides the slow tail that people actually complain about.
Samples currently live in an in-process ring buffer, so they reset on deploy and are not shared between server instances. That is a deliberate trade for a personal site with no database, and it would be dishonest to present the numbers without saying so. The store sits behind an interface — pointing it at Redis or Postgres is one file.
Nothing identifying is collected: a metric name, a number, and the path. No cookies, no fingerprint, no third party.
