Three Pillars of Core Web Vitals

Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)

Hurt by:

  • Slow server response time.
  • Java and CSS that blocks rendering.
  • Slow loading resources (especially image and video files)
  • Client side rendering
Check Your LCP
First Input Delay (FID)

We use TBT – a metric recommended by Google as a substitution to FID. It correlates with FID, captures issues that affect interactivity and can be obtained in laboratory conditions. Hurt by:

  • Long tasks
  • Long JavaScript execution time
  • Large JavaScript bundles
  • Render-blocking JavaScript
Check Your FID
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)

Hurt by:

  • Ads causing any change in layout
  • Cookie banners / notices Images without dimensions
  • Dynamically injected content
  • Embeds and iframes without dimensions
  • Web fonts causing FOIT/FOUT

“We're announcing that page experience ranking signals for Google Search will launch in May 2021. This will combine Core Web Vitals and previous UX-related signals.”

Tweet by @googlwsearchc. Nov 10, 2020

“ Pages that receive a score of “good” on Core Web Vitals are achieving an aspirational level of user experience, and might get a boost in the page experience component of ranking, provided other components of the page experience signal (HTTPS, mobile-friendliness, etc) are deemed OK.”
