Core Web Vitals are a set of metrics that measure the speed, responsiveness, and visual stability of your website. These metrics are now a ranking factor for Google, so paying attention to them is crucial.
Focus on the following:
-
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): Measures how long it takes for the largest visible content element to load.
-
First Input Delay (FID): Measures how long it takes for a website to respond to a user’s first interaction.
-
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): Measures visual stability — how much the page shifts as it loads.
