Instantly prioritize revenue-killing pages with a single Core Web Vitals score, turning dev sprints into quantifiable wins over slower competitors.
Vitals Health Score distills your site’s Core Web Vitals into a single 0-100 metric, so you can quickly flag pages that threaten rankings, ad revenue, and conversion rates and slot concrete fixes into the next dev sprint.
Vitals Health Score rolls Google’s three Core Web Vitals (Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift, Interaction to Next Paint) into a single 0-100 index. Think of it as the “credit score” for page experience: anything below 75 flags a debt that can depress organic rankings, reduce programmatic ad fill, and erode conversion rates. Consolidating the vitals into one number lets SEO leads brief executives in seconds and drop precise tickets into the dev backlog without wading through three separate dashboards.
You don’t need to rebuild the front-end stack on day one. Start small:
Publisher A (45 M sessions/mo): Moving from 62 → 83 Health Score cut ad CLS penalties, adding $0.18 eCPM and $420k annual revenue.
Retailer B (headless, 7 locales): Lazy-loading hero images and deferring third-party scripts lifted LCP from 3.4 s to 2.1 s. Organic revenue grew 9% QoQ, and the site earned two additional spots in Google AI Overviews for “best travel backpacks.”
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and Interaction to Next Paint (INP or its predecessor First Input Delay, FID). Together, these measure loading speed, visual stability, and interactivity—the foundation of the score.
The sharp decline points to a worsening Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) because large images delay above-the-fold rendering. The fastest fix is to optimize or serve lighter versions of those hero images (e.g., WebP/AVIF, proper dimensions, CDN) to bring LCP back under Google’s ≤2.5 s threshold.
True. Some platforms weight metrics differently, include additional factors (e.g., Total Blocking Time), or use stricter pass/fail cut-offs. Passing Google’s thresholds is necessary, but tooling variations can lower the composite score, signaling room for further optimization.
1) Enable lazy loading for off-screen images to shorten mobile LCP; 2) Remove or defer non-critical JavaScript (e.g., third-party widgets) to reduce blocking time and improve interactivity on slower mobile CPUs. Both actions target the metrics dragging down the mobile score.
✅ Better approach: Segment Core Web Vitals in CrUX/BigQuery or RUM tools; set alerts for each key template (home, PLP, PDP), break out mobile vs. desktop, and track over rolling 28-day windows so regressions surface before they hit site-wide averages
✅ Better approach: Validate every release with field data (e.g., PageSpeed Insights ‘Origin’ tab or your own RUM) and budget CI pipelines to fail builds when field FID/INP, LCP, or CLS cross thresholds; treat lab tests as diagnostic, not final authority
✅ Better approach: Audit the tag container monthly, defer or self-host critical third-party assets, load marketing pixels via requestIdleCallback, and enforce a performance governance policy requiring business justification for every new script
✅ Better approach: Run A/B tests that correlate faster INP/LCP with conversion uplift, forecast ROI of fixes, and include projected revenue gains in your performance roadmap so stakeholders prioritize ongoing optimization budget
