Core Web Vitals

Google’s major algorithm update is rolling out now. Our specialist team will help you to safeguard your website from negative rankings and traffic losses.

Understanding Google's Core Web Vitals

Core Web Vitals (CWV) will form an important part of a site’s overall search engine optimisation strategy. These page experience metrics are extensions of everything that Google has been working towards over the years to provide a positive web experience to the end user. 

Here at Reload, we’re supporting businesses by ensuring they are staying ahead of the update and their website is performing against the new metrics.

The benefits of optimising for CWV

Our team will work closely with you to develop a B2B digital marketing strategy that aligns with your goals. We’ll help you determine the best combination of tactics to achieve your key objectives and build digital campaigns that get real results.

Protect Your Traffic
& Rankings

  • Google puts the user at the forefront of everything they do, so page experience naturally plays a critical role.

    Not optimising for Core Web Vitals will likely result in lower rankings and decreases in website traffic.

Provide a Positive Site Experience

  • Poor user experiences on slow websites discourage customers from browsing, converting and returning to your site.

    The Core Web Vitals updates are ultimately about improving site experience, which will have lasting positive impacts.

Beat Your
Competitors

  • We know this update is going to shake up the search landscape. There is an opportunity to gain an edge on your competitors by serving the best possible page experience.

Core Web Vitals Frequently Asked Questions

See our FAQs below and get in touch on 1300 714 146 or fill in the form below.

The core web vitals are largest contentful paint (LCP), first input delay (FID) and cumulative layout shift (CLS). They relate to page load speed, interactivity and visual stability.

A Core Web Vitals audit will outline where your site is falling short and provide an implementation plan to get pages meeting the CWV criteria. Recommended improvements will vary depending on your site condition and the competitive landscape.

LCP is short for largest contentful paint, which refers to the time it takes for the most critical page element in the viewport to load. Potential customers should not be left waiting for the above-the-fold content to load. 

This needs to be prioritised over all the other stuff happening in the background (or below the fold) so it gives them something to start engaging with as quickly as possible. Google has announced that LCP will become a ranking factor in May 2021.

FID is short for first input delay, or the time it takes for a website to respond to the first action a user takes (eg. clicks a button). Primary functionality needs to be usable as quickly as possible. 

Customers who are in a rush and ready to buy shouldn’t have to wait for the buy button to materialise because of interstitials (eg. a live chat module that has to load first). Google has announced that FID will become a ranking factor in May 2021.

CLS is short for cumulative layout shift, which refers to the visual stability of a website page.  No-one likes it when content jumps around and resizes itself as the page loads new elements. CLS is a measure of the degree of content shifts happening during the load sequence. 

Utilising dedicated space  for ‘heavy’ items is a must to prevent CLS. Google has announced that CLS will become a ranking factor in May 2021.
