Page load speed is no longer just a technical metric—it directly dictates whether Google ranks your site on page one or buries it. Optimizing Core Web Vitals creates a faster, higher-converting user experience.
1. Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
LCP measures how long it takes for the main hero image or title to render on screen. Using modern image formats like WebP or AVIF alongside explicit width and height attributes prevents layout shifts and speeds up rendering times.
2. Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
Unexpected layout movements frustrate mobile visitors. Reserving image containers and preloading fonts ensures your pages load smoothly without jumping around while scrolling.
