Spending a lot of time on keyword optimization, backlinks and mobile experience, we often tend to neglect that Google pays significant attention to the on-page experience as well. Owing to this, Google has rolled out a new set of signals – Core Web Vitals.

These signals – rolled out in May 2021 – are a part of the new “page experience” signals. They consider the loading speed of the website page, visual stability as well as responsiveness. Let’s explore what Core Web Vitas are as well as understand how they could impact your website rankings.

What are Core Web Vitals?

Interactivity: First Input Delay
The responsiveness of your webpage – it measures the time between the first interaction of the user with the safe and the time the browser takes to respond to the interaction.
Visual Stability: Cumulative Layout Shift
The frequency of unexpected layout changes as well as the overall visual stability of the web page is termed cumulative layout shifts and visual stability.
