Core Web Vitals are crucial for measuring user experience and SEO ranking. Optimizing web vitals—such as LCP, FID, and CLS—improves site speed and search engine visibility.
What are Core Web Vitals?
Core Web Vitals are a set of performance metrics that Google uses to measure user experience on your site.
Why are Core Web Vitals important for SEO?
Good performance on Core Web Vitals leads to better rankings on Google, as user experience directly impacts SEO.
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
LCP measures how quickly the largest visible content element (like an image or text block) loads on the screen. Read more
First Input Delay (FID)
FID measures the time it takes for the page to respond to a user’s first interaction (click, tap, etc.). Read more
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
CLS tracks how much the layout shifts during page load, affecting the stability and visual experience of the page. Read more
1. Optimize LCP by Reducing Render-Blocking Resources
Ensure that critical CSS, JavaScript, and fonts load early to improve the speed at which content is visible.
2. Minimize FID with Efficient JavaScript
Break up long JavaScript tasks into smaller, async tasks to ensure fast interaction with the page.
3. Reduce CLS by Avoiding Layout Shifts
Reserve space for images and fonts during page load, and ensure dynamic content is positioned predictably.
4. Use Next.js Image Optimization
Leverage Next.js’s built-in image optimization features to serve the right image sizes for different devices and reduce LCP.
5. Implement Lazy Loading
Lazy load offscreen content such as images and videos to reduce initial page load time.
Optimizing Core Web Vitals enhances both user experience and SEO performance. Focus on LCP, FID, and CLS to improve your site’s ranking and usability.
