Core Web Vitals optimization
Pass Core Web Vitals for better UX and SEO
Core Web Vitals are Google's metrics for page experience. Passing them matters for SEO ranking and user experience. Starcodia optimizes Shopify stores to meet Core Web Vitals thresholds for LCP, INP and CLS.
The Core Web Vitals metrics
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP). Measures loading performance. LCP should occur within 2.5 seconds of page load.
Interaction to Next Paint (INP). Measures responsiveness. INP should be 200 milliseconds or less.
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS). Measures visual stability. CLS should be 0.1 or less.
How Starcodia optimizes Core Web Vitals
Image optimization. Properly sized images, modern formats, lazy loading and priority loading for above-the-fold content.
JavaScript reduction. Minimize and defer JavaScript, remove unused code, optimize third-party scripts.
Layout stability. Reserve space for images and dynamic content, avoid layout shifts from late-loading elements.
Resource prioritization. Preload critical resources, defer non-critical resources, optimize loading order.
