What are Core Web Vitals and how do they affect our website?

Question

Accepted Answer

Core Web Vitals are essential metrics that measure user experience on websites, impacting SEO and rankings.

Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): Measures loading performance. Aim for LCP under 2.5 seconds for better user experience.
First Input Delay (FID): Measures interactivity. A FID of less than 100 milliseconds is ideal for responsive sites.
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): Measures visual stability. A CLS score of less than 0.1 ensures a stable layout during loading.
Improving these metrics can lead to higher search rankings and better user engagement.
