Imagine a world where every website you visit loads lightning-fast, is easy to navigate, and always delivers what you’re searching for. This is the world Google is trying to create, and why they invest heavily in updates that improve the user experience.

In 2021, Google rolled out its Core Web Vitals algorithm, a massive update designed to give website visitors a more enjoyable and secure page experience. 

Now, with the update fully implemented, your website is being measured by three crucial performance metrics – Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) – which determine how well your website serves its visitors.

You can read more here about the specifics of what’s measured in Core Web Vitals and common issues that may be impacting your scores.


Core Web Vitals and Your Bottom Line

Strong Core Web Vital scores are not just “nice to have.” Neglecting your website’s Core Web Vitals means you’re missing significant opportunities to grow your business.
