How We Handle Core Web Vitals and PageSpeed Benchmarks

Edited

Overview

Core Web Vitals are a set of performance metrics that Google uses to measure real-world user experience — and they play a major role in SEO rankings and site usability. At BionicWP, we take them seriously and optimize for them as part of our ongoing performance work.


How It Works

We focus on the three primary Core Web Vitals:

  • Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) – Measures loading performance

  • First Input Delay (FID) – Measures interactivity

  • Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) – Measures visual stability

Our speed optimization process includes:

  • Running sites through PageSpeed Insights

  • Proactively addressing key issues affecting CWV scores

  • Implementing fixes for images, fonts, JavaScript, and layout shifts

We monitor changes othen and intervene before issues become noticeable.


Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Your site is scanned using Google PageSpeed Insights and CWV tools.

  2. If scores fall below target (below 80 on mobile or below 85 on desktop), our team identifies root causes.

  3. We optimize layout shifts, remove blocking scripts, and compress assets.

  4. We re-test and provide you with an update on before/after metrics.

Pro Tip: Don’t wait for Google to penalize your rankings — a monthly Core Web Vitals checkup helps ensure long-term performance and higher search visibility.
