Website Selector 

The Website Selector lets you easily switch between the websites in your account. When you select a website, all sections in the dashboard—such as traffic, reports, and setup progress—will update to display details for that site. The selected domain will also show the number of email accounts associated with it, helping you track email usage at a glance. This ensures you are viewing and managing the correct website dashboard information.

From there, click Manage to access the tools you need to keep your website updated and running smoothly, or use the WordPress Admin button to instantly open the WordPress dashboard for the selected site in just one click.

Website Metrics

The Website Metrics evaluates the technical performance and user experience of your website through four main metrics:

• Performance: Assesses how fast and responsive the website is.
• Best Practices: Reviews compliance with modern web development standards.
• Accessibility: Looks into how easily all users, including those with disabilities, can navigate your site.

Each category is represented as a percentage, pointing out areas that can be improved to enhance user experience and search rankings.
