In this episode, we’re gonna talk about Google’s upcoming Page Experience update which is happening in May 2021. Slobodan breaks down what Core Web Vitals means for your website and how to prepare for it.
We’re covering the key elements of Core Web Vitals:
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
- First Input Delay (FID)
- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
It may sound complicated, but it really is about three things: how long it takes to display important content, how interactive the page is while it loads, and how stable the layout is during page load.
