Performance fixes that matter

Focus on these optimizations for the biggest impact.

4 min read

There are hundreds of ways to optimize website performance, but most have minimal impact. Instead of chasing every possible optimization, focus on the few changes that actually move the needle. Here's where to start.

Start with Core Web Vitals

Google's Core Web Vitals measure the user experience aspects that matter most: loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability. Fix these first.

LCP

Largest Contentful Paint

How quickly the main content loads

Target: Under 2.5s

INP

Interaction to Next Paint

How responsive your site feels

Target: Under 200ms

CLS

Cumulative Layout Shift

How stable the layout is

Target: Under 0.1

Key takeaway

Performance optimization is about focusing on what matters most. Start with Core Web Vitals, fix your biggest images, eliminate render-blocking resources, and prevent layout shifts. These changes will have more impact than any amount of micro-optimization.
