It’s Not Just About Google Rankings
While Core Web Vitals are a confirmed Google ranking signal, their bigger business impact is often on conversion rates. Studies consistently show that even 100ms of additional load time can measurably reduce conversions.
The Three Metrics That Matter
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) measures perceived load speed. Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) measures visual stability — critical for forms and CTAs. Interaction to Next Paint (INP) measures responsiveness to user interaction.
Common Causes of Poor Scores
Unoptimized images, render-blocking JavaScript, third-party scripts (chat widgets, analytics) loaded synchronously, and web fonts causing layout shift are the most common culprits we find during audits.
Our Approach: Edge-First Architecture
We build client websites on edge-first infrastructure like Cloudflare, which dramatically reduces latency for global audiences compared to traditional single-region hosting.
