High Web Vital Scores
Google's Core Web Vitals aren't just technical jargon — they reflect how usable your site actually feels. I focus on metrics like Largest Contentful Paint, First Input Delay, and Cumulative Layout Shift to make sure your site loads quickly, responds fast, and stays visually stable. These improvements aren't just for Google — they improve real user experience, which means happier visitors and more conversions. With every project, performance is built in, not tacked on.
What Core Web Vitals Measure
There are three key metrics:
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): how long it takes the biggest thing on the page to load
- First Input Delay (FID): how quickly your site responds when someone clicks or taps
- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): how much stuff on your page moves around as it loads
These might sound technical, but they directly affect how your site feels to use. And that affects trust, engagement, and search rankings.
Why This Should Be on Your Radar
Web Vitals aren’t just for developers: they now impact your SEO and conversion rates. A site that’s slow to load or feels clunky will rank lower in search and frustrate visitors. A fast, stable site builds trust and keeps people engaged.
What I Focus On
Every site I build or optimize is designed to hit strong Web Vital scores out of the gate. That means:
- Efficient code that loads fast
- Smooth page rendering with no visual glitches
- Clean asset handling: e.g. fonts, images, scripts
- Smart caching and delivery strategies
- Mobile-first structure with stable layouts
No hacks or shortcuts. Just solid, performance-first development.
