A practical checklist for Core Web Vitals
The fixes that move LCP, INP and CLS the most on typical marketing sites, in the order I apply them.
- Performance
- SEO
Core Web Vitals affect both rankings and conversions. The good news is that a handful of fixes cover most sites.
Largest Contentful Paint
Serve the hero image in a modern format at the right size, preload it, and make sure no render-blocking script sits in front of it.
Interaction to Next Paint
Audit third-party scripts first. Chat widgets and tag managers are the most common cause of slow interactions.
Cumulative Layout Shift
Give every image and embed explicit dimensions, and load web fonts with a matching fallback so text doesn't jump.
