Tammy Everts analyzed a month of RUM data from ten major e-commerce sites. The lowest bounce rates were with LCP between 100ms and 1 second, well below the recommended 2.5 seconds. What does this mean? Create your own correlation graph of LCP vs. bounce rate and set your own threshold.
Joan León created an interactive course on reading profiles from the Performance Panel. Each example is clickable and annotated. You'll see how a request blocking file size or a slow server appears on the timeline. Instantly spot issues like forced reflow and more.
Sergey Chernyshev presented this proposal at the latest PerformanceObserver. It's not just wordplay. When we talk about “performance,” it's about milliseconds and technical aspects. But when we say UX, product and marketing teams join in because it's about the customer experience.
The Embrace team has developed a new standard for measuring mobile apps. It works like Core Web Vitals, measuring three speed metrics and one for stability. This framework aims to bring order to mobile UX. How many people are truly addressing web app performance today?
Martin Michálek has written a guide on using Search Console to improve website speed. It includes steps to monitor page groups, identify problematic URLs, verify improvements, and checklists for optimizing speed.
Adrian explains that writing code is no longer the issue; it's keeping up with reviewing it. AI doesn't create good software; it needs a structured environment. At PageSpeed.ONE, we often see AI degrading performance by pushing poor code into production without automatic oversight.
Martin Michálek describes a new reality in his article on Lupa. AI bots can silently overload your site even at night when people aren't shopping. What to do? He suggests monitoring site speed, using Cloudflare or similar services, and asking your host about bot protection.
This case study is impressive. Shopify compared Core Web Vitals with conversions across its e-commerce ecosystem. LCP and INP clearly drive sales. Every 100ms of slower loading means a 3.5% drop in conversion. CLS doesn't have such an impact in their study.
Measuring Core Web Vitals in single-page apps is tricky. Browsers only measure LCP during actual navigation, not JavaScript rendering. Chrome addresses this with the Soft Navigations API. If you have an SPA, it's time to test the API and send feedback to Google.
Explaining speed metrics with dry numbers often falls flat. Our Core Web Vitals Live browser extension visualizes these abstract concepts. It highlights slow and problematic elements directly on the site, marks every layout shift, and shows interaction scores at your cursor. Give it a try.
Jono Alderson offers a candid critique of how headless websites often prioritize developer needs over real business goals. For most companies, a website is a marketing tool, and switching to a headless architecture can complicate publishing, iteration, and quick responses—essential reasons for having a website.

By removing the framework, they dramatically reduced data size and eliminated unnecessary hydration. The result is a stable layout, lower TBT, and lightning-fast rendering, even on weaker devices.
Martin Michálek spoke about speed at UX Day last week, and his materials are now online. Check out the slides, install the Chrome Core Web Vitals Live extension, test your site with our tools, or use the speed optimization checklist.
Instead of manually hunting metrics in DevTools, use AI. Joan León transformed his WebPerf Snippets into Agent SKILLS. Through MCP, the agent connects directly to the browser, running scripts for metric analysis or media size. Is this the future?
Read Tammy Everts' great article on why Google's metrics are just the foundation, not the ceiling for optimization. A truly fast website makes speed “invisible.“ When delays disrupt user flow, meeting limits won't save declining conversion rates.
Exploring different approaches to optimizing INP is fascinating. Developers at the Italian marketplace Subito conducted A/B tests to identify issues. TikTok and Facebook scripts were problematic, so they implemented Next.js 16 and the React compiler. Their efforts led to a 5% increase in ad detail views.
From our experience, embedded videos often increase the Total Blocking Time metric. Stefan Bauer suggests placing videos inside a <details> element, entirely without JavaScript. The browser won't download or initialize the video until the user clicks the element.
Bart Veneman analyzes CSS data from 100,000 websites. The median CSS size is 309 kB, but he found a site with 52 MB of styles. Check your site's status in the Network panel in DevTools or our Technical report after starting a PLUS test.
INP, TBT, JS Long Tasks—overwhelmed by JavaScript metrics? Our help article clarifies them with practical examples and specific recommendations like DOM optimization and code splitting.
More websites are meeting Core Web Vitals. Mobile compliance rose from 36% in 2023 to 48%, and desktop from 48% to 55%. However, 16% still incorrectly lazy-load LCP images. We now also collect data on Long Animation Frame (LoAF).
WebP is great, but AVIF offers more. It provides better compression, supports transparency, avoids blocking artifacts, and handles HDR and more color spaces. Just be aware of the higher server load during generation.
Martin Michálek warns against the myth that 100 ms equals 1% revenue. Many studies, including those from Walmart and Amazon, confuse correlation with causation or overlook that wealthier users simply have faster devices. The solution? Conduct rigorous A/B tests and rely on statistically significant data.
Michal Matuška's article guides you through implementing React 19.2 updates, featuring practical examples of the new Activity component. Be cautious with Server Side Rendering, as React doesn't include hidden Activity components in HTML, which can affect SEO.
ContentSquare analyzed data from 997 users, finding that INP correlated with bounce rates. Users with poor INP were 15% more likely to experience frustration (rage clicks). Those with good INP had a conversion rate of 2.5%, compared to just 2% for those with poor or needs improvement INP, a 25% difference.
Every year, we look forward to Alex Russell's device speed graphs. Unfortunately, the results are less encouraging. The median mobile page is growing larger each year, while the performance of budget Android phones remains stagnant, making the reduction of every kB an ongoing challenge.
