How do I fix poor Core Web Vitals scores?
Core Web Vitals
Fixes depend on which metric needs improvement:
For LCP (loading speed):
- Optimize and compress images
- Minimize render-blocking CSS and JavaScript
- Use a CDN and enable browser caching
For INP (responsiveness):
- Reduce JavaScript execution time
- Break up long tasks into smaller chunks
- Optimize event handlers
For CLS (visual stability):
- Set explicit width and height on images and ads
- Avoid inserting content above existing content
- Use CSS containment for dynamic elements
Use PageSpeed Insights to diagnose specific issues. After fixing, click "Validate Fix" in the Core Web Vitals report. Improvements can take up to 28 days to reflect in Search Console.
