What's new in DAP 8.5.0

Features

Core Web Vitals

The DAP code now tracks Core Web Vitals for the homepages of all sites. Core Web Vitals are a set of standardized metrics introduced by Google to measure and optimize user experience on websites. They focus on three key aspects of web performance - loading performance, interactivity, and visual stability - in order to provide actionable insights into how users perceive the speed, responsiveness, and stability of a web page.

Reports for Core Web Vitals are available in the "GA4 - Gov-wide DAP Property".

See more details on the wiki.

Bug fixes

  • Modified PII redaction to allow valid lat and lon query string parameters to be reported without redaction (invalid lat/lon values will still be redacted). Previously, such parameters were being misidentified as containing telephone numbers, which caused them to be redacted.

Security and privacy

The Core Web Vitals feature requires a dependency on a new third-party library, web-vitals, which we are hosting alongside the DAP code on https://dap.digitalgov.gov/. The web-vitals library is maintained by the Google Chrome team and is security scanned by our team before it is uploaded to https://dap.digitalgov.gov/.

Agency-specific changes

  • Department of Commerce: Added issuedby and wwa as allowed query parameters.
