What is PLS by weekday
PLS by weekday evaluates the perceived speed of your site for each day of the week, measuring Perceived Load Speed (PLS) based on when users feel the page is fully ready. This helps uncover if certain days feel slower, even if the technical metrics look fine.
Perceived Load Speed (PLS) is a Uxify metric that reflects when the page appears fully ready from a user’s perspective.
PLS by weekday sample
Should you worry
In a healthy view, PLS feels equally fast across all weekdays, meaning even on days with new promotions, flash sales, or high-content swaps, users see a ready page quickly.
Unhealthy PLS by weekday sample
If PLS feels slower on certain days, it can be due to heavy hero content, large promotional banners, or delayed personalization scripts introduced mid-week or during weekend events.
