Hey folks, I’m working on improving my site’s performance by focusing on the Core Web Vitals. I’m trying to understand what areas I should prioritize and which tools are most effective for tracking improvements. Any insights or experiences would be really helpful. Thanks!
I’ve been playing with Core Web Vitals experiments too. Personally, I found that focusing on LCP and TTI gave a noticeable boost to conversion rates because users don’t wait around for a slow site – they bounce. I paired some image lazy loading with a good caching plugin, and not only did my loading times improve but my affiliate revenue increased. I also throw in device-specific tests using PageSpeed Insights to keep mobile and desktop happy. Curious, has anyone observed direct revenue impacts from these tweaks, or is it just a theory in your neck of the woods?
I took a slightly different route by making sure my server responses were as lean as possible. Instead of only tweaking images or deferring scripts, I looked at my site’s backend and trimmed out unnecessary third-party calls. That really pushed my metrics in the right direction. I used real user data to see what was actually slowing things down, which made a huge difference. It was eye-opening to see that some minor back-end tweaks had a ripple effect on overall performance. Curious if anyone else found success by diving into the server-side optimizations rather than just looking at what loads on the front end?
hey, i’ve been playing around with this too. i think start with the LCP by optimizing images and rough js loading tweaks, as that really helped me. i also use lighthouse mostly, though i wonder if anyone has tried the web vitals extension. curious if others find mobile performance tweaks easier/harder than desktop? might be worth experimenting a bit.
I’ve been digging into Core Web Vitals for a while, and one thing I learned is that it’s important not to chase just one number. When I tweaked my layout and deferred unessential scripts, the LCP improved, but I noticed the FID also needed attention, especially on mobile. I’ve been using PageSpeed Insights and Chrome DevTools to spot issues on both ends. One solid fix was setting explicit width/height for images and media to cut down on layout shifts — it made the site feel smoother overall. I also make sure to test on various devices because sometimes a tweak for desktop might not have the same impact on mobile. In my experience, a few well-planned changes can boost both performance metrics and user engagement over time.
hey, i’ve been dabbling with my blog’s vitals and found that simply switching to gzip and playing with script defering made a decent diff. not super advanced stuff but it helped my site’s feel on mobile. anyone else tried tweaking fonts or other small assets to see a boost in perf? i’ve noticed the small bits really add up over time.
