Green scores remain a strong possibility.
What Are Core Web Vitals
Core Web Vitals are three key performance metrics that affect how people experience your website.
They are LCP, CLS, and INP, and each one measures a different aspect of loading, stability, and interaction.
There’s also TTFB, which indirectly affects all of them.
A fast website is not just about speed tests. It is about real visitors enjoying a smooth experience.
Google tracks these signals to decide whether your site deserves to appear higher in search results.
A slow, unstable, or unresponsive site can cost you rankings, traffic, and sales.
TTFB – Time To First Byte
TTFBmeasures how long it takes for your browser to receive the first data from a web server.
It is like waiting for a waiter to acknowledge your order before the food even starts cooking.
A long wait means your server or hosting setup is slow to respond.
Common causes include poor hosting, missing caching layers, or the absence of a CDN.
At Green Page Speed, we reduce TTFB by improving server response.
Adding edge caching and optimising DNS and SSL handshakes.
We regularly bring TTFB down to under 100 milliseconds for our clients.
What Is Interaction to Next Paint?
Interaction to Next Paint (INP) measures the time between a user interaction and the next visual change on the screen.
Unlike older metrics that only measure the first interaction, INP will look at multiple interactions during a visit and report the worst one. That makes it a stricter measure of responsiveness.
A good score is under 200 milliseconds. Between 200 and 500 milliseconds needs improvement. Over 500 milliseconds is considered poor.
The longer the browser spends processing scripts before updating the screen, the worse the score.
LCP – Largest Contentful Paint
LCP measures how quickly the main part of a page becomes visible.
This is usually the hero image or the largest text block above the fold.
If that image or headline takes four seconds to load, Google believes your site feels slow.
Even if the rest of the page appears later.
A poor LCP often comes from oversized hero images, render-blocking CSS, or slow hosting.
We address these issues by compressing images and lazy-loading assets below the fold.
It also covers serving files from lightning-fast servers.
Our daily proof screenshots will give you near-instant LCP results for both desktop and mobile.
CLS – Cumulative Layout Shift
CLS checks if anything on your page moves or shifts while it’s loading.
It is the score that punishes those annoying shifts when you go to click a button, and it suddenly moves.
High CLS happens when images or ads load without reserved space.
We prevent layout shifts by pre-defining image sizes.
Then, pre-load fonts and delay non-critical animations.
Our layout framework keeps every element firmly in place, ensuring CLS stays perfectly green on all pages.
TBT Total Blocking Time
TBT measures how long your page stays unresponsive while the browser is busy handling heavy scripts.
It is like trying to speak to someone who keeps pausing mid-sentence because they are overloaded with tasks.
A high TBT score indicates that the browser is blocked, and users may experience difficulties interacting with your page smoothly.
Common causes include large JavaScript bundles, unused scripts, slow third-party code, or too many tasks running on the main thread.
At Green Page Speed, we reduce TBT by removing unnecessary scripts and improving your code.
We will delay non-essential JavaScript, optimise critical tasks, and clean up render-blocking work.
We regularly bring TBT down to under 50 milliseconds for our clients.
