If you understand this Google’s ranking factor well and use it properly, you can perform your blog posts well on search engine result pages (SERPs) and get high rankings. Many factors are included in Core Web Vitals.

These factors depend on how much your website is loading and how long its interaction with the user is happening. When the user goes to the page of a website through mobile or desktop, then how fast that page is loading.

All these factors depend on the metrics of Core Web Vitals, so now you must have understood what Core Web Vitals is. So, let me give you information about its metrics.

Metrics of core web vitals

Then only you will get better results and you will be able to rank in your posts on search engines. There are 3 types of matrices that depend on visitor interactions. Here I will tell you about these metrics one by one. Which is like this;

1. Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)

When users visit your website or blog post via mobile or desktop. Then your website takes time to load in front of visitors. This loading speed is measured in LCP. The loading speed of the main content of your web page is measured in 3 ways.

If your website’s main content loads in less than 2.5 seconds then it is considered good and if your website takes more than 2.5 seconds to load then it needs to be improved and if the website loads more than 4 seconds. If it happens then it falls into the Poor category.

2. First Input Delay (FID) 

When a visitor visits a blog post by clicking on the link of your website, then at what time the first element of the blog post is visible, it is called FID.

If you want to give the user a better experience on your post, the FID of the page should be less than 100 milliseconds. 

But if it is between 100 and 300 milliseconds, it needs to be improved and if it is more than 300 milliseconds it will be included in the poor category.

3. Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)

If you want to give visitors to your website a good experience, the CLS of your website’s blog post should be less than 0.1. 

And if it is between 0.1 to 0.25, you should improve it. As well as if it is more than 0.25, it falls into the poor category.
