⍰ ASK Core Web Vitals cheatsheet?

Core Web Vitals sounded complicated when I first started optimizing websites, but after I broke them down, they were simple to comprehend and enjoyable to enhance. Consider Core Web Vitals as Google's method of gauging the usability of your website. They concentrate on three main factors: how quickly your website loads, how quickly it becomes interactive, and how stable it appears while loading.


Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) is the first. It concerns the speed at which the largest visible portion of your page—typically a large image or headline—loads. It should load in less than 2.5 seconds, according to Google. It used to take four seconds for my blog's homepage to display the primary image. LCP significantly improved after I used free tools to compress my photos and lazy-loaded less crucial ones.


First Input Delay (FID) comes next. This gauges how long it takes for a click, tap, or keystroke to actually cause your website to react. It should be less than 100 milliseconds, according to Google. I discovered that, particularly on mobile devices, my website felt sluggish after clicking buttons. I discovered that the interaction was being blocked by an excessive amount of JavaScript. To make things run more smoothly, I deferred non-essential scripts and used fewer plugins.


Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) comes next. Have you ever attempted to press a button only to have the page change and you accidentally tapped something else instead? CLS, that's awful. It is brought on by things like advertisements or pictures loading without specified sizes. Because I hadn't set height values for my images, the menu bar on my website kept jumping. After I did, the layout felt much cleaner and stopped moving.


I started using Lighthouse and Google PageSpeed Insights to monitor all of this. They explain what needs to be fixed in addition to assigning you a score. My site felt faster and more seamless the more I worked on these metrics, not only for users but also for me.


Consider Core Web Vitals a to-do list if you're working on your own website. They improve your website for actual users, not just for search engine optimization. And for me, that meant happier visitors, higher rankings, and lower bounce rates.
 
Core Web Vitals sounded intimidating and complicated when I first heard about them. The technical jargon made it seem like a challenge I wasn't prepared for because I'm new to website optimization. But after dissecting them and examining them more closely, I saw that these metrics are actually fairly simple and—more importantly—offer insightful information about how to create a website that is genuinely user-friendly. In essence, Core Web Vitals are Google's method of evaluating the usability and user experience of your website by looking at three important aspects: loading stability, interactivity, and speed.Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) is the first of these metrics. This gauges how long it takes for the largest visible element on your page, such as a large image or headline, to load. According to Google, LCP should happen in 2.5 seconds or less. I was surprised to discover that it took about four seconds for the main image on my blog's homepage to appear when I first visited my website. I compressed my photos using free tools to make them lighter and load faster in order to enhance my LCP. For images that weren't immediately visible on the page, I also used lazy loading. The user experience was significantly enhanced by these minor adjustments, which had a noticeable impact on how quickly the page loaded.First Input Delay (FID), which gauges how long it takes for a user to interact with your website, comes next. Response times for keystrokes, taps, and clicks should all be less than 100 ms. I discovered that when I attempted to interact with buttons or forms on my website, it frequently felt sluggish on mobile devices. After some research, I discovered that an excessive amount of JavaScript running in the background was the source of the delay. I fixed this by removing superfluous plugins and deferring scripts that weren't absolutely necessary. Because of these changes, the website was able to respond more quickly, which improved the responsiveness of interactions.
