Why Core Web Vitals Still Decide Google Rankings

Despite constant algorithm updates, Core Web Vitals remain one of Google’s most consistent ranking factors. Many businesses underestimate their impact, leading to poor visibility despite good content.

What Are Core Web Vitals?

They measure real-world user experience:
  • LCP (Largest Contentful Paint): Loading speed
  • INP (Interaction to Next Paint): Responsiveness
  • CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift): Visual stability

Why They Matter in 2026

Google prioritizes user experience. A slow or unstable website:
  • Loses rankings
  • Increases bounce rates
  • Reduces trust

Common Issues Affecting Core Web Vitals

  • Heavy images
  • Poor hosting
  • Unoptimized JavaScript
  • Layout shifts caused by ads or fonts

Business Impact

A one-second delay in load time can reduce conversions significantly. Speed is no longer a technical luxury — it is a revenue factor.
