Capture a snapshot of your site metrics and compare future checks against it.

Baseline Comparisons

Pro Plan and Above

Baselines let you capture a "known good" snapshot of your site's metrics, then compare all future checks against it.

When to Use Baselines

• Before a deployment — Capture baseline, deploy, compare to catch regressions
• After fixing issues — Set a new baseline as your improved benchmark
• Quarterly reviews — Track progress by comparing against previous quarter's baseline

How to Create

1. Go to your site's Baselines tab
2. Click "Create Baseline"
3. Name it (e.g., "Pre-v2.0 Launch", "Q1 2026 Benchmark")
4. Optionally add a description
5. LemWatch captures current metrics:

• Performance scores (mobile + desktop)
• Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP)
• Response time
• Security grade
• SEO score
• Uptime percentage

Comparing Against Baselines

On the site detail page, select a baseline from the dropdown to see a side-by-side comparison of all metrics. Improvements show in green, regressions in red.

Multiple Baselines

Keep multiple baselines per site to track progress over time. Mark one as "active" to use as the default comparison point.
