# WordPress site speed test: Core Web Vitals (desktop)

**Use case:** 

Benchmark well-known WordPress-powered websites on desktop — LCP, CLS, INP, TBT, page weight and Lighthouse performance score — then swap in your own WordPress sites to find slow themes and plugins.

## Input

  "strategy": "desktop",
  "categories": [
    "performance"
  ],
  "locale": "en",
  "maxConcurrency": 3,

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Bulk PageSpeed Insights, Lighthouse & Core Web Vitals](https://apify.com/forevertools/pagespeed-core-web-vitals.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/forevertools/pagespeed-core-web-vitals.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
