Why it matters

Core Web Vitals directly affect your Google ranking

Google uses Core Web Vitals as a ranking signal. Failing metrics means lower search visibility, higher bounce rates, and lost traffic. But most tools only give you the scores — not what's causing them.

53%

of visitors leave if a page takes more than 3 seconds to load

70%

of pages that fail Core Web Vitals rank lower in mobile search

24%

fewer visitors abandon pages that pass all Core Web Vitals

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What are Core Web Vitals?

Core Web Vitals are a set of metrics defined by Google that measure real-world user experience on web pages. They include Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) for loading speed, Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) for visual stability, and Interaction to Next Paint (INP) for responsiveness. Google uses these metrics as ranking signals in search results.

How do Core Web Vitals affect SEO?

Google uses Core Web Vitals as a ranking signal in search results. Pages that pass all Core Web Vitals thresholds get a ranking boost, while pages that fail may rank lower — especially on mobile. This is part of Google's broader Page Experience update.

What's the difference between lab data and field data?

Lab data (like Lighthouse) measures performance in a controlled environment with a simulated device and network. Field data (like CrUX) comes from real users visiting your site with their actual devices and connections. DebugUtils shows both side by side so you can see how your optimizations translate to real-world results.

What are good Core Web Vitals scores?

Google considers these scores 'good': LCP under 2.5 seconds, CLS under 0.1, TBT under 200ms (lab proxy for INP), FCP under 1.8 seconds, and TTFB under 800ms. DebugUtils color-codes each metric green, yellow, or red based on these thresholds.

Is this Core Web Vitals test free?

Yes. DebugUtils runs full Core Web Vitals tests for free with no signup required. You get lab metrics from Lighthouse v12 plus real-user CrUX field data, LCP element analysis, and prioritized fix recommendations — all in a shareable report URL.
