How can I improve my site’s Core Web Vitals scores?
Technical SEO
Core Web Vitals (CWV) consist of metrics like LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), INP (interactivity), and CLS (layout shifts).
Steps to improve:
1. Measure baseline: GSC’s Core Web Vitals report, PageSpeed Insights, Lighthouse.
2. Focus on LCP: optimize server response, reduce render‑blocking resources, optimize images, preload key assets.
3. Improve Interactivity (INP): reduce JS work, break up large scripts, defer non‑essential JS.
4. Fix CLS: set dimensions for images/videos, avoid inserting content above existing, manage font loading.
5. Continuous monitoring: test on mobile and desktop after each change.
