Understanding Core Web Vitals
Core Web Vitals encompass key metrics that measure the user experience on websites, focusing on aspects that matter most to users. This includes metrics such as Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), which gauges how quickly the main content of a page loads, and First Input Delay (FID), which assesses responsiveness to user interactions. The goal is to create a frictionless browsing experience that users can immediately appreciate, even those who may not grasp the technical details behind it. By simplifying these concepts, they become accessible to a broader audience, promoting a universal understanding of what defines a positive user experience.
