Core Web Vitals

Fix the exact metric failing in Search Console.

Search Console's Core Web Vitals report groups your pages by URL pattern and names which group is failing which metric. We go straight at that group and that metric instead of guessing across the whole site.

What we do

The concrete work behind fixing a failing metric.

Read the report the way it's built

We pull the Core Web Vitals report from Search Console and work by URL group, not by a single page, since a fix that addresses one template's problem usually resolves the entire group at once. The report also splits results by desktop and mobile, and mobile is usually the one actually failing, since it has less processing power and a slower typical connection.

Diagnose Largest Contentful Paint

We find the single slowest element the browser has to render, most often a hero image, a video poster, or a font that blocks the page from showing its main content.

Diagnose Interaction to Next Paint

We find what ties up the browser's main thread when a visitor taps or clicks, often a heavy third-party widget, an unoptimized script, or too much JavaScript running at once.

Diagnose Cumulative Layout Shift

We find what moves after the page appears to have loaded, usually an image or an ad slot with no reserved space, or a web font swapping in and pushing content around.

How this engagement is scoped

Prerequisites and access

We need Search Console access to read the actual failing report by URL group, plus CMS or code access to fix the specific element causing each problem.

What's delivered

A fix targeted at the specific metric and URL group that was failing, along with a plain explanation of what was causing it and what changed to address it. If more than one URL group is failing at once, we tell you which one to prioritize based on how much traffic it actually gets.

The acceptance test

The affected URL group moves from poor or needs improvement into good in Search Console's own report, confirmed again once Google's rolling data window has had time to refresh.

Out of scope

A general speed program for pages that already pass is covered by our site speed optimization job instead, and we can't fix a third-party script's own code if you don't control it. A brand-new site with no crawl or field-data history yet won't have a Core Web Vitals report to fix in the first place.

How the engagement runs

01

Pull the failing URL groups

We read Search Console's own report to see exactly which URL groups and metrics are failing right now, rather than guessing from the homepage alone.

02

Fix metric by metric

We address each failing metric, LCP, INP, or CLS, at its actual cause on the affected template, one at a time.

03

Wait for the refresh and confirm

Since the field data updates on a rolling basis, we check back once it's had time to reflect the fix and confirm the group has moved into good.
