Understanding Core Web Vitals: The Key to Boosting Your Google Rankings
Google's Page Experience update has made technical site performance a direct ranking factor. Core Web Vitals measure real-world user experience for loading performance, interactivity, and visual stability of a webpage.
The Three Core Web Vitals Metrics
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): Measures loading speed (aim for under 2.5 seconds).
- First Input Delay (FID): Measures page responsiveness (aim for under 100 milliseconds).
- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): Measures visual stability of elements during loading (aim for under 0.1).
