Page Speed has always been an essential factor in how a website performs in search engines and how customers perceive a website to be usable. It can also influence whether or not a user converts or makes a purchase on a website.<\/p>\n
Before we can effectively and sustainably optimize a website for Page Speed, we must first understand what Google (and other search engines) consider when calculating your website’s score on the Page Speed Insights report. While it is clear what aspects are measured and reported, it is not always clear what those metrics are and what they measure.<\/p>\n
That is why we have created this guide: to help you understand the Page Speed Insight metrics to make your website more user-friendly and accessible to the end-user.<\/p>\n
The Largest Contentful Paint metric is a key metric in the Page Speed Insights report and will play a role in the May 2021 Google Algorithm Update, which we recommend you read up on if you haven’t already. Put, the most contentful The amount of render time spent populating and visualizing the largest image or text block within the viewport specified in your browser is measured by Paint. All LCP is relative to the time the page first began loading.<\/p>\n
In general, First Paint refers to the precise second that ANYTHING on your browser is rendered. The First Paint is typically a header\/banner image at the top of the page you are attempting to load, or it may simply be the background color of the page in question. ‘Painting’ a banner image or page background first creates the illusion of a fast-loading page.<\/p>\n
However, there is an additional level to First Paint… First and foremost, Contentful Paint. First, Contentful Paint (FCP) is far more effective at controlling your page speed. It measures how long it takes for the first piece of actual content (whether text\/copy or visual assets) to appear on your browser.<\/p>\n
To put it simply, FCP is the point at which content that your user can interact with or benefit from becomes visible.<\/p>\n
Time to Interactive<\/a> (TTI) is another Page Speed metric that is extremely important to Search Engines and (if not more so) to the user. Time to Interactive denotes (as expected) the amount of time it takes for a web page to become fully interactive.<\/p>\n When it comes to SEO and Page Speed, the term ‘interactive’ can be quite subjective; however, Google defines Time To Internative (TTI) using three criteria:<\/p>\n Simply put, Time To Interactive is the point at which your site\/web page visitors can view, navigate, and engage without encountering any problems or delays.<\/p>\n Speed Index is a simple concept (this is an anomaly in the world of SEO<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, where everything is usually mind-blowingly complex). As defined by Google, a site’s Speed Index measures the time (in seconds) it takes for the content on your web page\/site to become visually populated.<\/p>\n\n
