Core Web Vitals
Definition & Measurement Standards
Core Web Vitals are a set of specific metrics introduced by Google to measure the real-world user experience of a webpage. They quantify critical facets of website health:
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): Measures perceived loading speed. Good score: under 2.5 seconds.
- Interaction to Next Paint (INP): Measures page responsiveness and interactivity. Good score: under 200 milliseconds.
- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): Measures visual stability and unexpected layout movement. Good score: under 0.1.
Strong Core Web Vitals form the foundation of technical SEO; see our Next.js vs WordPress VIP enterprise benchmark. Fast LCP and INP rely on server-side rendering and Progressive Web App caching. Explore our Core Web Vitals & INP optimization guide for B2B.
