Google Search Console’s Core Web Vitals are a set of metrics that measure the real-world user experience for loading performance, interactivity, and visual stability of a page. They are crucial for understanding how users perceive the performance of a website. Here’s a breakdown of the three main metrics:
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): This measures loading performance. For a good user experience, LCP should occur within the first 2.5 seconds of the page starting to load.
- Interaction To Next Paint (INP): This measures responsiveness. A good user experience is indicated by an INP of less than 200 milliseconds.
- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): This measures visual stability. To ensure a good user experience, aim for a CLS score of less than 0.1.
The Core Web Vitals report in Google Search Console shows URL performance grouped by status (Poor, Needs Improvement, Good), metric type, and URL group. It’s based on real-world usage data, also known as field data, and helps site owners identify areas that need improvement for a better user experience.
