Getting Started
Run your first audit in under 60 seconds
VitalLens is designed to give you decision-ready performance intelligence fast. Use this guide to run a scan, interpret the headline status, and decide what to fix first.
1. Start a scan
Paste your URL on the homepage and start an audit. We automatically normalize the URL, validate the protocol, and run both lab and field checks when available.
2. Choose device context
Switch between desktop and mobile results to see how real users experience your site. Mobile field data often highlights issues that desktop can hide.
3. Read the Executive Brief
The Executive Brief summarizes real-user performance, lab score, and the top risk or opportunity. This is the fastest way to communicate status to stakeholders.
4. Act on the prioritized fixes
Move directly into “What to Fix First” and “Needs Improvement” to get the fix order, expected impact, and playbooks that translate metrics into engineering actions.
Recommended cadence
- Run a baseline scan for every key landing page.
- Re-test after releases or changes to templates.
- Enable Performance Pulse for automated monitoring.
