Vad är Core Web Vitals?
Snabbdefinition
Core Web Vitals är tre specifika mätvärden från Google som mäter verkliga användarupplevelser på webbplatser: laddningsprestanda (LCP), interaktivitet (INP) och visuell stabilitet (CLS).
Core Web Vitals are Google's official metrics for measuring user experience on the web. They consist of three specific measurements: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), which measures loading speed; Interaction to Next Paint (INP), which measures responsiveness; and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), which measures visual stability.
Google uses Core Web Vitals as a ranking factor in search results. Sites that meet the recommended thresholds get a boost in rankings, while sites with poor scores may be penalized, especially in mobile search results.
Each metric has specific thresholds. LCP should occur within 2.5 seconds of the page starting to load. INP should be under 200 milliseconds. CLS should be under 0.1. These thresholds are based on the 75th percentile of page loads, meaning 75% of your visitors should have an experience at or better than these numbers.
You can measure Core Web Vitals using Google's PageSpeed Insights, Google Search Console (which shows field data from real users), the Chrome DevTools Lighthouse panel, and the web-vitals JavaScript library. Field data (from real users) is more important than lab data (from testing tools) because it reflects actual user conditions.
Varför det spelar roll
Core Web Vitals directly affect your Google search rankings. Since they became a ranking factor, sites with good scores have an edge over competitors with poor scores, especially in competitive niches where other ranking signals are similar.
More importantly, these metrics measure real user experience. A site with poor Core Web Vitals means users are experiencing slow loads, unresponsive interactions, or content jumping around the page. These frustrations lead to higher bounce rates, lower engagement, and fewer conversions.
Verkliga exempel
An e-commerce site improved their LCP from 4.5s to 1.8s by optimizing hero images and implementing lazy loading, resulting in a 12% increase in conversion rates
A news website fixed their CLS score (from 0.35 to 0.05) by adding width and height attributes to all images and reserving space for ads, reducing reader frustration with jumping content
A SaaS marketing site improved all three Core Web Vitals to "good" status and saw a 15% increase in organic search traffic within three months
A travel website with poor INP scores (500ms) optimized their JavaScript execution, bringing INP to 150ms and making the booking interface feel instant
Relaterade termer
LCP (Largest Contentful Paint)
LCP mäter den tid det tar för det största synliga innehållselementet på en sida, som en hero-bild eller rubrik, att renderas fullständigt.
CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift)
CLS mäter den totala mängden oväntade layoutskiften som inträffar under en sidas hela livscykel och kvantifierar hur mycket synligt innehåll rör sig.
TTFB (Time to First Byte)
TTFB mäter tiden från det att en webbläsare begär en sida tills den tar emot den första datasytan från servern, som ett mått på serverns svarstid.

Teknisk SEO är processen att optimera webbplatsens infrastruktur så att sökmotorer effektivt kan crawla, indexera och rendera dina sidor.
