Where Flann saves you time in GTmetrix
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once GTmetrix is connected.
Alerts in plain English
Today
Alert emails from GTmetrix arrive full of codes and thresholds. You cannot tell an urgent one from a routine one, so you either ignore them all or worry about every one.
With Flann
“What does this alert from GTmetrix mean? Should I worry?”
Flann reads the alert and the context around it in GTmetrix, then explains what happened in a couple of plain sentences. It says whether it looks serious and who usually handles that kind of thing.
What you stop doing: Guessing which alerts matter is no longer your job.
Security warnings explained
Today
Late at night, a suspicious sign-in report lands in your inbox. Without context you cannot tell a real threat from a member of staff on holiday.
With Flann
“Got a suspicious sign-in warning. Is it real?”
Flann checks the sign-in details in GTmetrix: where it came from, which account, and whether that person has signed in from there before. It gives you its reading and the reasons behind it.
What you stop doing: Warnings you could not interpret stop costing you sleep.
