Core Web Vitals: The Foundation of Performance

Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
LCP measures loading performance and should occur within 2.5 seconds of the page starting to load. Optimize by:

• Implementing lazy loading for below-fold content

• Implementing efficient caching strategies

• Optimizing server response time

• Using content delivery networks (CDNs)

• Minimizing critical rendering path resources

• Optimizing and compressing images

First Input Delay (FID)

FID measures interactivity and should be less than 100 milliseconds. Improve by:

• Using web workers for complex calculations

• Reducing JavaScript execution time

• Breaking up long tasks

• Optimizing third-party code impact

• Implementing browser caching

• Minimizing main thread work
