β‘ Core Web Vitals That Matter
Focus on LCP (largest contentful paint), INP (interaction), and CLS (layout stability). These are direct signals for user experience and Googleβs performance benchmarks.
π‘ Quick Rule
Compress images, reduce unused JS, and preload critical fonts. Those three moves often fix 80% of speed issues.
Speed Checklist
Use next-gen image formats (WebP/AVIF)
Lazy load below-the-fold assets
Minify CSS and JS bundles
Set a performance budget per page
Defer non-critical scripts
π§ Keep Speed Consistent
Run weekly audits and track your slowest pages. Speed gains compound when you fix templates and shared components.
