How the Core Web Vitals Checker Works
This tool sends your URL to Google PageSpeed Insights, then separates real-user field data from Lighthouse lab measurements.
- URL validation, the API normalizes the address and checks that the host is public before making a request.
- PageSpeed Insights fetch, Google runs a mobile or desktop performance audit and returns CrUX plus Lighthouse data.
- Field metrics, the page-level CrUX values show LCP, INP, CLS, FCP, and TTFB when enough visitor data exists.
- Lab metrics, Lighthouse provides a controlled test with performance score, LCP, FCP, TBT, CLS, Speed Index, and server response time.
Why Core Web Vitals Matter
Core Web Vitals connect technical performance to user experience, SEO, and conversion quality.
- Search visibility, Google uses page experience signals as part of ranking quality.
- Conversion rate, faster loading and smoother interaction reduce abandonment on mobile.
- AI discovery, fast, stable pages are easier for crawlers and answer engines to process.
- Competitive diagnosis, this tool focuses on Core Web Vitals while our Website Performance Checker audits headers, compression, TTFB, and HTML patterns, and the Page Weight Checker breaks down exactly which assets are slowing the page down.
Core Web Vitals Thresholds
Aim for Good on all three Core Web Vitals at the 75th percentile of page loads.
| Metric | Good | Needs work | Poor |
|---|---|---|---|
| LCP Largest Contentful Paint | ≤ 2.5s | 2.5s to 4.0s | > 4.0s |
| INP Interaction to Next Paint | ≤ 200ms | 200ms to 500ms | > 500ms |
| CLS Cumulative Layout Shift | ≤ 0.1 | 0.1 to 0.25 | > 0.25 |
What to Fix First
Poor LCP usually needs image, hosting, font, and render-blocking fixes. Poor INP usually needs JavaScript reduction. Poor CLS needs reserved image, ad, and embed space. For implementation help, read our website speed optimization guide.
What Each Core Web Vital Measures
Each metric maps to a different part of the experience, which means each has its own typical cause and primary fix. Use this alongside the thresholds above to prioritize work.
| Metric | What it measures | Common cause of failure | Primary fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| LCP | Loading: time to render the largest visible element | Heavy hero image, slow server, render-blocking CSS or fonts | Optimize and preload the hero asset, improve TTFB, remove blocking resources |
| INP | Responsiveness: delay between interaction and next paint | Heavy JavaScript and long main-thread tasks | Reduce and split JavaScript, defer third-party scripts, break up long tasks |
| CLS | Visual stability: unexpected layout movement | Images without dimensions, late ads, injected banners | Set width and height, reserve space for embeds, avoid inserting content above existing content |
Google grades these at the 75th percentile of real visits using field data. To turn a failing report into a fixed page, see our website speed and performance optimization service or request a free website audit.
