Core Web Vitals explained for business owners

What Google's speed metrics mean, why they matter and the usual fixes.

12 August 2026 · 5 min read

Core Web Vitals are Google's measures of real-world page experience: how fast the main content loads, how quickly the page responds, and how stable the layout is.

Largest Contentful Paint

How long the biggest visible element takes to load. Oversized images and slow hosting are the usual culprits.

Interaction to Next Paint

How quickly the page responds to taps and clicks. Heavy scripts and third-party widgets often slow it down.

Cumulative Layout Shift

How much the page jumps around while loading. Reserving space for images and ads fixes most issues.
