Core Web Vitals

Also written as LCP, CLS, INP, Web Performance

A set of metrics Google uses to measure real-world user experience on a page — how fast it loads (LCP), how stable the layout is as it loads (CLS), and how responsive it feels to interact with (INP).

Think of it like

Like a report card grading a store on how fast you can walk in, how steady the shelves are while browsing, and how quickly a clerk responds when you ask for help.
