    Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice on improving my website's Core Web Vitals and enhancing user experience. I've noticed that my site's performance metrics, including page loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability, need improvement according to Google's Core Web Vitals assessment. I would appreciate any insights or recommendations on optimizing page loading speed, leveraging browser caching, minimizing render-blocking resources, optimizing server response time, improving interactivity, reducing input delay, and ensuring visual stability. Any tips, tools, or best practices related to Core Web Vitals and user experience enhancement would be highly valuable. Thank you in advance for your help!

    How you do each of those things depends on what scripts the site is running with. It's probably easier to take each point one at a time.

    Lets start with page loading speed.
    Ensure your hosting is reliable
    Make sure your images are .webp
    Make sure you're only downloading the scripts and stylesheets you need

    Improving your website's Core Web Vitals and user experience involves addressing several key factors. Start by optimizing your site's loading speed, ensuring fast and efficient delivery of content. Utilize tools like image compression, minification, and caching to speed up page load times. Additionally, focus on enhancing the website's responsiveness and interactivity, making sure it is mobile-friendly and easy to navigate. Implementing a smooth and intuitive user interface, along with providing valuable and well-structured content, will contribute to a better overall user experience and positively impact your Core Web Vitals.

    To boost your website's Core Web Vitals and user experience, optimize loading speed with tools like LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress. Also this can help you with SEO. If you need you can see news for seo on https://oneseo.ro. Ensure mobile responsiveness, minimize layout shifts, optimize interactivity, and monitor performance regularly.

    This is something I have spent a long time on in the last 12 months, in particular page loading speed, because it drives so many things: SEO ranking, UX metrics, Google ads performance, conversion rate, returning visitors, etc.
    The size of your images will be a big factor on load speed, careful how big they are, that you have some cache plugin to store the images for the user, and check the format (WebP is good but careful on the quality). Get some image compression plugin like Smush but again be careful when compressing you do lose too much quality.

    After quite a bit of work I have managed to get Propress to load at 4 secs which given the number of plugins it has for various functionalities, and all the large images the client requires on the site, I think is quite good. Take a look at the site - be good to hear your and other people's feedback. ;)

    I think in general with CWV. It's the same rules as before. Reduce file size. Improve page-speed. That also helps user experience.

    Look out especially for larger images, make sure you reduce the file size with those (without making the images too blurry).

    UX is a lot of communicating what to do, and making things quick and easy for users.

    You might want to consider a CDN (Content Delivery Network) to get your server nearer your audiences. At Propress we use Cloudflare and they seem good and reliable and I have seen an improvement in speed.

    Improving your Core Web Vitals and user experience can be tackled from a few angles:
    Speed it Up:
    • Optimize Images: Large images can slow things down. Use tools to compress them without sacrificing quality.
    • Minify Code: Minimize unnecessary characters and whitespace in your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files.
    • Leverage Browser Caching: Store key website elements on users' browsers to speed up repeat visits.
    • Reduce HTTP Requests: The fewer resources a page needs to load, the faster it appears. Combine files when possible.
    Enhance Responsiveness:
    • Prioritize Mobile Friendliness: Make sure your site loads and functions well on all devices, especially mobile.
    • Minimize Render-Blocking Resources: Identify and defer non-critical scripts and styles to prevent them from delaying page rendering.
    Visual Stability:
    • Optimize Font Delivery: Preload key fonts to avoid layout shifts as fonts load.
    • Reduce Layout Shifts: Ensure elements on your page have defined dimensions to prevent unexpected jumps during loading.
    Helpful Tools:
    • Google PageSpeed Insights: https://www.webpagetest.org/ Analyzes your site and offers specific recommendations.
    • GTmetrix: https://gtmetrix.com/ Another popular tool for website performance analysis.

    It all depends on the specific site, if chtr is general. Optimizing page loading speed by compressing images, using a CDN, and minimizing CSS/JS files. Implement lazy loading and browser caching to reduce load times, and eliminate render-blocking resources. Improve server response time by leveraging caching and optimizing your hosting setup.

    To improve your Core Web Vitals, focus on implementing lazy loading for images, minifying CSS/JavaScript files, and optimizing your critical rendering path. Consider using a CDN to reduce server response times and compress your assets, while also implementing browser caching policies to store static resources locally on users' devices. Those are basics that will help.

    Compress images, use lazy loading for media, and minify CSS/JavaScript to enhance loading time.

    I really think this is a one site one answer question. Of course you need a correct hosting but then let's be honest if it's wordpress and you started wrong you are bad.
    I have greenshift theme and plugin and without a lot of effort I am really high on pagespeed. So what you choose first is key.
    Then every site is different. An example (free tip!) if you have a mega menu it can be loaded only on hover so it won't load at first. A mega menu can kill your pagespeed. You can come talk about that on my site mintavocado if you feel like it.
    I am quite good at that game, but really the right plugin changes everything

    To boost Core Web Vitals, optimize images with WebP, enable lazy loading, and compress files. Defer JavaScript, inline critical CSS, and minimize render-blocking resources. Use browser caching and a CDN to speed up loading. Limit heavy scripts to reduce input delay, and set image dimensions to prevent layout shifts. Track progress with tools like Google PageSpeed Insights, Lighthouse, and the Web Vitals extension.

    Be careful of broad answers. Lazy loading can be a bad thing if it's at the wrong spot of a page. Javascript can help trigger something on hover so it won't load right away as I said before. Be careful about to "general answers"
