LCP, INP and CLS sound technical, but they simply measure how fast and stable your site feels. Here is what they mean and how to improve them.

01LCP: how fast the main content appears

Largest Contentful Paint measures when the biggest element, usually a hero image or headline, becomes visible. Aim for under 2.5 seconds by compressing images and avoiding heavy scripts above the fold.

02INP: how quickly the page responds

Interaction to Next Paint measures the delay between a tap or click and the visual response. Breaking up long JavaScript tasks keeps your site feeling snappy.

03CLS: does the layout jump around?

Cumulative Layout Shift tracks unexpected movement. Always reserve space for images, ads and embeds so content doesn’t jump while the page loads.
