Understand the concept

Core Web Vitals are user-centric metrics defined by Google to evaluate the real-world experience of a webpage.

The primary metrics are Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS). Optimizing them improves both user experience and search visibility.

02 / Implementation

Measuring Web Vitals in Next.js

web-vitals.ts
import { useReportWebVitals } from "next/web-vitals";

export function reportWebVitals(metric) {
  console.log(metric);
}
