In the ever-evolving world of online visibility, Google has introduced a crucial metric: Core Web Vitals. But what exactly does this mean for your website, and why should you pay attention? Let's explore these key performance indicators in more detail.
What are Core Web Vitals?
Core Web Vitals are three specific factors that Google uses to measure your website's user experience:
1. Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) – Loading Speed
This measures how quickly the largest content elements on your page load. A good result is under 2.5 seconds.
2. First Input Delay (FID) – Interactivity
This measures how quickly your website responds to the first user interaction. A good value is under 100 milliseconds.
3. Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) – Visual Stability
This measures how many unexpected layout shifts occur during loading. A good value is less than 0.1.
The impact of poor Core Web Vitals
If your Core Web Vitals are not in order, there are direct consequences:
- Lower rankings in Google search results
- Higher bounce rates (visitors who click away immediately)
- Reduced conversions
- Worse user experience
- Less mobile traffic
