Test History
Track your site's China speed performance over time with a complete log of past speed tests.
Personal plan and above. Test history requires a paid plan (Personal, PRO, or Agency). Free users see a preview of this tab with an upgrade prompt.
Accessing Test History#
Navigate to Speed in China → Log in your WordPress admin. This tab displays a chronological list of all past speed tests.
What the Log Contains#
Each log entry records:
- Timestamp — When the test was run (displayed in your site's timezone)
- URL Tested — The specific URL that was tested
- Average Load Time — Mean total time across all probes
- Performance Grade — Color-coded indicator (green, yellow, red)
- Per-Location Results — Expandable view showing individual probe data (DNS, TCP, TLS, TTFB, Download, Total, Status) for each China location
- Test Source — Whether the test was run manually or via scheduled automation
Filtering the Log#
The log supports filtering by date range. Use the date filters at the top of the log to narrow down results to a specific time period, making it easy to identify performance trends or correlate changes with deployments.
Data Storage#
Test history is stored in your WordPress database as a serialized array in the
sic_speed_test_history option. Data is stored locally on your server — no external
services or third-party databases are involved.
History is not preserved on uninstall. If you deactivate and delete the plugin, all test history is removed from the database. Export any important data before uninstalling.
Practical Use Cases#
- Track optimization impact — Run a test before and after making changes (e.g., enabling Google Font localization, adding a CDN) to measure the improvement.
- Monitor trends — With scheduled testing, your log grows automatically, letting you spot regressions early.
- Client reports — Show clients a timeline of their site's China speed performance before and after your optimization work.
