SEO Strategy Guides

LCP Optimization

Optimize largest contentful paint by improving server response times, preloading critical assets, and optimizing images. Target sub-2.5 second LCP for the 75th percentile of page loads.

INP Optimization

Reduce interaction to next paint by minimizing JavaScript execution time and breaking up long tasks. Use web workers and lazy loading to keep the main thread responsive.

CLS Optimization

Prevent cumulative layout shift by setting explicit dimensions on images, videos, and ads. Avoid dynamically injected content above the fold.
