WHAT ARE CORE WEB VITALS:
Core Web Vitals are a set of metrics defined by Google that measure user experience on a webpage. They focus on three key aspects:
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) – Measures loading performance (should be under 2.5 seconds).
- First Input Delay (FID) / Interaction to Next Paint (INP) – Measures interactivity (FID should be under 100ms, INP is a new experimental metric).
- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) – Measures visual stability (should be below 0.1).
Where to Check Core Web Vitals:
- Google PageSpeed Insights (https://pagespeed.web.dev/)
- Google Search Console (Core Web Vitals Report)
- Lighthouse (via Chrome DevTools)
- Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX)
WRAPPING UP:
Google’s Core Web Vitals help you measure the performance of your web pages, giving developers and site owners an idea of how good or bad the user experience is with their site. This lets you easily improve website performance reduce the time taken to load and display UI elements and make them more responsive to user inputs.
