Core Web Vitals

Monitor your Core Web Vitals over time

LCP, CLS, INP, FCP, TBT — tracked per device on every scan. Google has used CWV as a ranking signal since 2021.

The metrics VitaPulse tracks

Each metric has a Google-defined threshold. VitaPulse measures them on mobile and desktop separately.

LCP

Largest Contentful Paint

< 2.5 s

FCP

First Contentful Paint

< 1.8 s

CLS

Cumulative Layout Shift

< 0.1

TBT

Total Blocking Time

< 200 ms

What poor CWV costs

Performance metrics connect directly to ranking and user behavior.

A Google ranking signal since 2021

Core Web Vitals became part of Google Search ranking in May 2021. Poor LCP or CLS scores can lose you positions against competitors who pass the thresholds.

Users leave slow pages

LCP above 4 seconds is rated 'poor' by Google. At that point Lighthouse scores the performance metric below 50 — a red flag in every VitaPulse report.

Load time and conversion

Slower LCP means fewer users reach your content. Tracking the metric over time lets you measure the effect of each optimization.

How VitaPulse tracks CWV

Automated scans on your schedule. Per-device results. History you can act on.

Continuous per-device monitoring

Every scan measures LCP, CLS, TBT, FCP, INP, and TTFB on mobile and desktop independently. Charts show evolution across all your scans.

Fix prioritized by impact

VitaPulse lists each opportunity with an estimated time saving in milliseconds. You see the highest-value fix before you open a code editor.

Regression alerts on threshold breach

Set a threshold per metric. When a scan crosses it, VitaPulse emails you the before/after comparison.

CWV included in every PDF report

Each downloadable report includes the full CWV section with metric values, status, and device comparison. Shareable via public link.
