Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS):
0 (FAST)
The Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) metric measures how much unexpected layout shifts affect the user experience on a page. These layout shifts occur when content moves around without prior user input. CLS
Time to First Byte (TTFB):
0.322 s (FAST)
TTFB (time to first byte) is the number of milliseconds it takes for a client’s browser to receive the first byte of the response from the web server. Usually, TTFB can be improved with faster hosting and server optimizations. TTFB
First Input Delay (FID):
2 ms (FAST)
First Input Delay (FID) measures the time from when the user interacts with your site for the first time (click a link, tap on a button, etc.) to the time when the browser is able to respond to that interaction. Google recommends keeping FID below 100ms for a good user experience. FID
First Contentful Paint (FCP):
0.658 s (FAST)
FCP (First Contentful Paint) measures the time from a user’s navigation to when the browser renders the first bit of content from the DOM. In other words, FCP marks the time at which the first text or image is painted for the user. According to PageSpeed Insights, FCP should occur in under 2 seconds. FCP
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP):
1.188 s (FAST)
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) is a metric that measures when the largest content in the viewport is rendered. It is used to measure how long it takes for the main content of your webpage to appear on the screen. Everything below 2.5s is considered good LCP time by PageSpeed Insights. LCP
