Understanding Core Web Vitals Metrics
Core Web Vitals are performance metrics defined by Google to measure real user experience on a website. These metrics focus on loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability. Improving Core Web Vitals helps enhance user experience, improve search rankings, and increase overall website performance.
Google uses three main Core Web Vitals metrics to evaluate website performance:
-
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) measures loading performance and tracks how long it takes for the main content of a page to become visible to users.
-
Interaction to Next Paint (INP) measures responsiveness and evaluates how quickly a website responds when a user interacts with the page.
-
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) measures visual stability and tracks unexpected layout shifts that occur while the page is loading.
