It provides insights into how quickly a webpage responds to user input, ensuring a smooth and seamless browsing experience. By evaluating the INP Metric, website owners can optimize their sites to reduce input delays and enhance user engagement.
The Core Web Vitals Report in Google Search Console empowers website owners and developers with actionable data and recommendations to optimize their site’s performance. The report provides a clear overview of the website’s Core Web Vitals performance, highlighting areas that need attention.
