Core Web Vitals

Core Web Vitals are a set of specific factors that Google considers important in a webpage’s overall user experience. They are part of Google’s “page experience” ranking signals. The three core metrics are Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), which measures loading performance; Interaction to Next Paint (INP), which measures interactivity; and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), which measures visual stability. optimizing for these vitals is essential for technical SEO as they directly impact how users perceive the speed and reliability of a website. Poor scores can lead to lower rankings and higher bounce rates, while passing these thresholds can provide a ranking boost and, more importantly, a better experience for visitors.
