# Understanding Core Web Vitals
Google's Core Web Vitals are a set of specific factors that Google considers important in a webpage's overall user experience.
## Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
Measures loading performance. To provide a good user experience, LCP should occur within 2.5 seconds of when the page first starts loading.
## Interaction to Next Paint (INP)
Measures interactivity. A low INP ensures that the page is usable and responsive to user input.
## Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
Measures visual stability. Pages should maintain a CLS of 0.1. or less.
Optimizing these metrics requires image compression, lazy loading, and minimizing render-blocking JavaScript.
