Core Web Vitals

Core Web Vitals are a group of metrics Google uses to gauge the quality of a page’s user experience from real browsing data. There are three: LCP, which measures how long the main content takes to load; INP, which assesses how quickly the page responds to interactions; and CLS, which reflects visual stability — whether elements jump around annoyingly while it loads. Google uses them as a ranking factor within its page-experience signal, though relevant content still counts for more. You can check them in tools like Search Console or PageSpeed Insights. Good scores improve both visitor satisfaction and, indirectly, SEO ✕ SEO (search engine optimization) covers all the measures that get a website to appear higher in Google's unpaid results and thereby attract more visitors.
