Optimizing Web Performance for Core Web Vitals
Google's Core Web Vitals have become crucial ranking factors. Here's how to optimize your site.
The Three Metrics
LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) Measures loading performance. Aim for under 2.5 seconds.
How to improve: - Optimize images with modern formats (WebP, AVIF) - Use a CDN - Implement lazy loading
FID (First Input Delay) Measures interactivity. Aim for under 100ms.
How to improve: - Break up long JavaScript tasks - Use web workers for heavy computation - Defer non-critical scripts
CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) Measures visual stability. Aim for under 0.1.
How to improve: - Set explicit dimensions on images and videos - Reserve space for dynamic content - Avoid inserting content above existing content
