What web professionals need to know now about Core Web Vitals.

In May 2020 Google announced a long-term introduction of Core Web Vitals as key parameters for website quality measurement. These are part of a larger number of metrics, the Web Vitals, that Google considers fundamental indicators for the user experience.

Now one year later, the introduction is on the go. In the first phase three elements will be key ranking criteria for the Page Experience Score:

• Loading (Largest Contentful Paint, LCP)
• Interactivity (First Input Delay, FID)
• Visual Stability (Cumulative Layout Shift, CLS)

Our May edition ot the All-CMS Meetup is dedicated to this topic. Andrey Lipattsev, partner development manager at Google, gives an introduction to Core Web Vitals, followed by a round of Q+A.
