It doesn’t matter what industry you are in, if you have a website you will need to consider Core Web Vitals going forward. However, you will likely encounter different challenges depending on the content and functions of your site.
So how do they affect you?
The first takeaway from these metrics is that site owners are becoming more aware of their site performance. It is therefore essential to not be passive and take action before you lose market share to competitors with more efficient sites.
Although Core Web Vitals are still a relatively new initiative, the conclusions are supported by performance statistics already present in the industry. For example, the correlation between slow page load and increased bounce rates or non-mobile-friendly sites results in fewer conversions as phones are becoming a primary device for many shoppers.
