How does Core Web Vitals affect search engine rankings?

Core Web Vitals directly affect search rankings as Google uses them as ranking factors. The three Core Web Vitals are LCP (loading performance), FID (interactivity), and CLS (visual stability). Sites with good Core Web Vitals rank higher than sites with poor scores. Google provides tools to measure Core Web Vitals and offers guidance on improvements. Improving Core Web Vitals can lead to ranking improvements, especially for mobile searches. However, Core Web Vitals are one of many ranking factors—content quality matters more. The best approach combines technical optimization (Core Web Vitals) with content optimization. Many technical SEO consultants focus heavily on Core Web Vitals as they affect both rankings and user experience.
