Google has made it known that a seamless and fast user experience is a ranking factor. Getting Good scores on Core Web Vitals is essential for improving your SERP rankings and shouldn't be ignored! How do you get started with optimizing your #WordPress site? First, you should figure out where your scoring poorly. Run a scan on https://hubs.li/Q02ClnNx0 or, better yet, pull up your Google Search Console dashboard and check out the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) data for your site. Where you're scoring poorly will give you insights on figuring out the right solution for your site. Is your Interaction to Next Paint more than 200ms? Try installing a code optimization plugin like PerfMatters to improve the time it takes for user's interactions to register in the browser. Cumulative Layout Shift causing users grief by content and interactive elements jumping around on the page? Double-check your image settings. Do they have size attributes defined? A plugin like WP Rocket can help by adding missing image dimensions. Finally, does your Largest Contentful Paint take longer than 2.5 seconds? If so, a caching plugin WP Super Cache will help cache your site's pages so that they can be delivered quickly. Looking for more optimization plugins than the ones mentioned here?
