These three key metrics are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    It measures the loading speed of the largest piece of content on a page.

    2. First Input Delay (FID) \/ 2025 Update: INP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      It is the delay time until the user interacts with the page.
      In 2025, INP (Interaction to Next Paint) will replace FID.
      Target time: Below 200 ms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3. Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
