Core Web Vitals

Core Web Vitals is a subset of Web Vitals(3 metrics)

  • Loading: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
    • LCP measures the time it takes to get the largest element on the page visible within the viewport.
  • Interactivity: First Input Delay (FID)
    • It is the perception of an end user’s experience while interacting with a web page.
    • FID requires real user data and cannot be measured in the lab (e.g. Google Lighthouse).
    • the Total Blocking Time (TBT) metric is lab-measurable and captures issues that affect interactivity.
  • Visual stability: Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
    • CLS is a measure of your site’s overall layout stability.
    • CLS occurs when elements have been shifted after initially being rendered by the DOM.

Other metrics

  • First Contentful Paint (FCP): Measures the time from when the page begins to load to when the first element is rendered on screen.
