What are Core Web Vitals?
Core Web Vitals are a set of real-world performance metrics defined by Google that measure the user experience of loading, interactivity, and visual stability:
- LCP (Largest Contentful Paint): Loading speed, target < 2.5 seconds
- INP (Interaction to Next Paint): Responsiveness, target < 200ms
- CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift): Visual stability, target < 0.1
Why Core Web Vitals Matter
Core Web Vitals are a confirmed Google ranking factor. Sites meeting all three thresholds see higher search rankings, lower bounce rates, and better conversion rates. A 1-second improvement in LCP can increase conversions by 27%.
