Summary

Google has introduced Web Vitals, a set of three key user experience metrics: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS). With the upcoming Page Experience update, Google will evaluate web pages based on these four metrics: Mobile Friendliness, Safe Browsing, HTTPS, and Non-Intrusive Interstitials. The goal is to raise the conversation around content itself, rather than being a strict stickler about how it's built. Web Vitals can impact search rankings, but e-commerce services are particularly likely to benefit from improved site performance. Sentry's Performance monitoring tool allows for comparison of user metrics against Web Vitals thresholds, and provides visibility into poor-performing pages and transaction issues. With Sentry's Trace Navigator and Trace View, developers can navigate between errors and performance issues, and see dependencies and project relationships in a single view. By optimizing for Web Vitals, developers can distinguish themselves in the marketplace and improve customer experience.
