Reduced schedule during conference and annual break
We'll be operating with a reduced schedule from tomorrow and the next few weeks, as follows:
We'll be travelling and attending JoomlaDay USA from Tuesday April 22 to Friday April 25. Support will have extended response time during this period. From April 25 evening to Tuesday May 12 included, support will be closed for our annual break.
Don't forget to look up the documentation, including the videos, your answer may already be there! Likewise, be sure to check the Development versions area, in case your problem may already have been solved.
In case of emergency (ie your site is down with a fatal error directly linked to one of our extensions), please contact us by email (see contact icon at the bottom of all pages of this site)
#8046 – 4SEO - Core Web Vitals and Custom Components


Hi
What effect does the 4SEO module have on Core Web Vitals scores? Does it help with increasing these?
No, no plugin can really do that aside from the usual optimization techniques such as caching, reducing image sizes, etc.
What 4SEO does is measuring real Core Web Vitals for your site. As far as I know, it's the only plugin (for any CMS) that provides you with real CWV values for you site. Usual performance measurements tools such as webpagetest.org or even Google's own lighthouse only give you readings of your CWV, when you visit a page.
But that's not what Google uses for ranking. They use real measurements from real visitors to your site and that's what 4SEO can measure for you, so that you can optimize actual Core Web Vitals.
We also have a lot of custom components that create URLs that can be accessed on the web (we mainly do auction houses so they have different URLs for all of the items that they are selling).
4SEO will crawl any URL of your site it can find a link to, so how the page is built does not matter in principle. The amount of data it can gather however depends on how your component was built and whether it complies with the Joomla API (for instance correctly throwing the onContentPrepare and other events).
Then you can of course dive deeper by using the many documented hooks of 4SEO.
