What are Core Web Vitals?
Core Web Vitals are Google’s measurements of how a page loads and responds for real visitors. They cover loading speed, response to input and visual stability.
Why it matters
Largest Contentful Paint measures how long the main content takes to appear, and Google asks for 2.5 seconds or less. Interaction to Next Paint measures how fast the page reacts to a click or tap, with a target of 200 milliseconds or less.
Cumulative Layout Shift measures how much the layout moves while the page loads, with a target of 0.1 or less. Google uses these measurements as a ranking signal, and slow pages also lose visitors before they read anything.
How we handle it
We measure on real templates with field data from Search Console, then fix the largest causes first. These are usually oversized images, scripts that block rendering and fonts that load late.
