Core Web Vitals Optimization
The newest kind of online performance measurements, Google’s Core Web Vitals, aggregates real-world usage data across consumer devices. The variables contribute to the Core Web Vitals Score, which Google uses to rank websites. These consist of three core metrics — Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS).
Trend to continue
On desktop/laptop, 75.4 percent of websites get a good score for Largest Contentful Paint, but only 65.1 percent get a good score on mobile.
What is Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID) and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)?
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
Google defines the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) metric as a metric that measures the render time of the viewport’s largest image or text block. In a nutshell, the LCP is the largest viewable block of your page at the end of the rendering process.
First Input Delay (FID)
First Input Delay (FID) is a metric that gauges a page’s interactivity, or how quickly it responds when a user seeks to engage with it. A low FID guarantees that the page feels responsive, creating a positive initial impression, whereas a high FID results in unresponsive pages and frustration.
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) is an essential factor for improving page experience by tracking the visual user experience on a website’s stability. It aids in quantifying the layout shifts that can occur as a person navigates across a website. Improving user experience and usability requires lowering this score.
How GeopFX helps improves Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) score?
LCP As Text
If your LCP is solely text or contains text, preload the font with cross-origin and utilize preconnect if the font is loaded externally and with few weights or variants.
LCP As Image
To achieve a comparable experience to background images, use the CSS attribute object-fit, and utilize an image tag to use responsive images using the srcset HTML function.
Lazy Load
Because your LCP image needs to load as quickly as possible, don’t lazy load it. Set it to “eager” if you’re using native lazy load.
Compress images and use WebP format
Compress your image as much as possible, and when possible, use contemporary image formats like WebP.
Image Dimension
When using an image element, specify image dimensions to reserve the picture’s space, which reduces the time it takes for the browser to draw in the image.
What may be done to reduce the First Input Delay (FID)?
- Make use of the most recent JavaScript.
- Minify your scripts by employing inline scripts for crucial above-the-fold draw elements and delaying the rest to optimize FID.
- To reduce the impact on FID, larger JavaScript apps should load JavaScript in parts asynchronously and when needed.
- Reduce bloat by removing non-essential third-party scripts.
- Scripts should be optimized by deleting any scripts that aren’t needed for the current page.
What can be done to make Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) better?
- To aid the web browser in reserving space before an image loads, all image tags should have the proper height and width parameters set.
- Inline SVGs are a better alternative to icon font libraries since they help to avoid sluggish loading and layout adjustments.
- If you have JavaScript message alerts like “click here to accept cookies,” make sure they’re updated to work with contemporary JavaScript.
- Use no “popup” calls to action that appear after a user sees a website for a brief time.
