Technical SEO
What is Core Web Vitals?
Core Web Vitals are Google's metrics that measure a page's loading, interactivity and visual stability.
Core Web Vitals bundle three experience metrics: LCP (largest contentful paint, measures loading), INP (interactivity) and CLS (layout stability). They reflect how the user perceives the site's speed and smoothness.
As ranking factors, optimizing them improves both experience and SEO. Technical audits usually report these indicators alongside meta tags.
