Core Web Vitals: Improve Your Website Speed
Blog post from Fastly
Google's emphasis on user experience in website rankings hinges on Core Web Vitals (CWV), which evaluates loading performance, interactivity, and visual stability. These metrics—Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)—are crucial for determining a site's usability and impact search visibility and rankings. Improving CWVs involves optimizing LCP by using a modern Content Delivery Network (CDN), which enhances time-to-first-byte (TTFB), caches API responses, and compresses images at the edge. CDNs like Fastly can improve performance by delivering stale content when origin servers lag, handling high-volume requests, and offering security features such as DDoS protection. They also accelerate load times for large files, enable caching of dynamic content, and optimize images by serving them from the nearest location and adjusting them for end-user devices, ultimately enhancing the overall user experience and maintaining competitive SEO standings.
