What are Google Core Web Vitals and why do they matter?

Core Web Vitals are performance metrics that Google uses to evaluate user experience. They include:

– Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): Measures loading performance; should be under 2.5 seconds.
– First Input Delay (FID): Measures interactivity; should be under 100ms.
– Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): Measures visual stability; should be less than 0.1.

These metrics impact rankings as Google prioritizes websites that provide a smooth, fast, and engaging user experience. Optimizing images, improving server response times, and reducing unnecessary scripts can improve Core Web Vitals scores.
