Core Web Vitals

Core Web Vitals is a set of three Google-defined metrics that measure real-world user experience for loading performance, interactivity, and visual stability.

Core Web Vitals (CWV) consist of three metrics: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) measures loading speed, Interaction to Next Paint (INP) measures responsiveness, and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) measures visual stability. Google uses these as ranking signals in search results.

Passing thresholds are LCP under 2.5 seconds, INP under 200 milliseconds, and CLS under 0.1. Sites that meet all three thresholds earn a 'good' designation in Google Search Console and may receive a ranking boost over competitors with poor scores.

GenGrowth monitors Core Web Vitals across all content pages and flags performance regressions before they impact rankings. The platform provides specific optimization recommendations, such as lazy-loading images, deferring non-critical scripts, and reserving layout space for dynamic content.
