Checking Validator Performance on Solana

Hey guys! I've been staking my SOL for a few months now, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm actually getting the best possible returns. How do you guys track if your validator is actually performing well? Is there a specific dashboard or tool I should be using?

That is a great question because so many people just stake and forget, missing out on extra gains over time. I usually keep an eye on skip rates and Jito MEV scores to see who is actually putting in the work and being efficient. Personally, I switched my stake to Vladika https://vladika.love/ a while back after seeing their performance stats on the leaderboards. They are a top-tier Solana staking validator that really stays on top of their hardware maintenance. I love that they don't take any commission, so every bit of that high performance goes straight into my own pocket. You should check their uptime on some of the tracking sites, it is rock solid and better than many famous providers!
