They focus on the loading performance, interactivity and visual stability of a page. These metrics have been official since May 2021 <a href=\"https:\/\/csw.agency\/en\/glossar\/ranking-factor\/\">Ranking factors<\/a> in the Google search algorithm and therefore have a direct influence on the <a href=\"https:\/\/csw.agency\/en\/ki-visibility\/\">Visibility<\/a> a website in the <a href=\"https:\/\/csw.agency\/en\/glossar\/google-serps\/\">Search results<\/a>. The overarching goal is to ensure a smooth, efficient and enjoyable experience for every user.<\/p>\n<h2>What are Core Web Vitals?<\/h2>\n<p>The Core Web Vitals initiative is part of Google's broader \u201eWeb Vitals\u201c program, which aims to simplify and streamline the multitude of performance metrics that Google uses. <a href=\"https:\/\/csw.agency\/en\/services\/webengineering\/\">Webmasters<\/a> to help them focus on the most important aspects of the user experience. By measuring real user data via the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX), the Core Web Vitals enable website operators to quickly evaluate their performance and <a href=\"https:\/\/csw.agency\/en\/glossar\/search-engine-optimization-seo\/\">Optimization potential<\/a> to recognize. Good performance of these metrics can lead to lower <a href=\"https:\/\/csw.agency\/en\/glossar\/bounce-rate-bounce-rate\/\">Bounce rates<\/a>, higher user loyalty and improved <a href=\"https:\/\/csw.agency\/en\/conversion-rate-optimization\/\">Conversion rates<\/a> lead.<\/p>\n<p>The Core Web Vitals consist of three specific metrics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)<\/li>\n<li>Interaction to Next Paint (INP)<\/li>\n<li>Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The three Core Web Vitals in detail<\/h2>\n<p>Each of these metrics evaluates a key aspect of the user experience:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)<\/strong> measures the perceived <a href=\"https:\/\/csw.agency\/en\/warum-pagespeed-optimierung-nicht-alles-ist\/\">Loading speed<\/a> of a web page. It records the time at which the largest visible content element in the viewport is rendered. This element can be an image, a video or a large block of text. For a good user experience, the LCP should occur within 2.5 seconds of the page load starting. Values between 2.5 and 4.0 seconds indicate a need for optimization, while an LCP of over 4.0 seconds is considered poor. This value should be achieved for at least 75 % of the page views.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interaction to Next Paint (INP)<\/strong> is the metric for <a href=\"https:\/\/csw.agency\/en\/mobile-first-2\/\">Interactivity<\/a> and replaced First Input Delay (FID) as the Core Web Vital in March 2024. INP measures the overall responsiveness of a page to user interactions by observing the latency of all qualifying interactions during a user's entire visit to a page. This includes clicks, taps and keystrokes. A good INP value is 200 milliseconds or less. A value between 200 and 500 milliseconds means that improvements are needed, and anything over 500 milliseconds is considered poor responsiveness. Again, the measurement applies to the 75th percentile of page views.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)<\/strong> evaluates the visual stability of a website. It quantifies the extent of unexpected layout shifts that can occur during the loading process. Such shifts can lead to users inadvertently clicking on the wrong elements or losing their reading flow. A good CLS value should be 0.1 or less. Values between 0.1 and 0.25 indicate a need for improvement, and a value above 0.25 is considered poor. This threshold also applies to at least 75 % of page views.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"no","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[10,18],"class_list":["post-40730","glossar","type-glossar","status-publish","hentry","category-digital-marketing","category-seo"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Core Web Vitals &#187;
