How to: Use Speed Hacks to Improve WordPress Site Vitals Score
In past year Google started an initiative which helps website owners to measure the website performance in an easy way. Because the previous tools provided by Google are helpful for developers but it is little bit complex for website owners where they don’t need that much metrics.
Web Vitals is the name of the initiative and it’s subset are called as Core Web Vitals . And the Core Web Vitals acts as a separate single part of the user experience. The Core Web Vitals is measured using some metrics, and shows the real time experience .
In what are the ways metrics are measured in Core Web Vitals?
Core Web Vitals,
• In the lab: using tools to simulate a page load in a consistent, controlled environment
• In the field: on real users actually loading and interacting with the page
Neither of these options is necessarily better or worse than the other—in fact you generally want to use both to ensure good performance.
What are the metric types in Core Web Vitals?
1.Perceived load speed
2.Load responsiveness
3.Runtime responsiveness
4.Visual stability
5.Smoothness

As we said earlier about Core web vitals , From 2020 may to present the important metrics to measure Web Performance Largest contentful paint (LCP),First input delay (FID) , Cumulative layout shift (CLS) are very very important metrics. But we have to work on other metrics also.
• Largest contentful paint (LCP): It measures the time from when the page starts loading to when the largest text block or image element is rendered on the screen.
• First input delay (FID): It measures the time from when a user first interacts with your site (i.e. based on when they click a link, tap a button, or use a custom, JavaScript-powered control) to the time when the browser is actually able to respond to that interaction.
• Cumulative layout shift (CLS): It measures the cumulative score of all unexpected layout shifts that occur between when the page starts loading and when its lifecycle state changes to hidden.
• First contentful paint (FCP): It measures the time from when the page starts loading to when any part of the page's content is rendered on the screen.
• Time to Interactive (TTI): It measures the time from when the page starts loading to when it's visually rendered, its initial scripts (if any) have loaded, and it's capable of reliably responding to user input quickly.
• Total blocking time (TBT): It measures the cumulative score of all unexpected layout shifts that occur between when the page starts loading and when its lifecycle state changes to hidden.
