How does Core Web Vitals affect search engine promotion in Google and what does it represent

Google strives to provide its customers with the best service and maximum convenience. To do this, the company decided to take a course to work with the usefulness, efficiency and expertise of the information provided on the Internet. By launching the EA principle, Google strives to make search results the most relevant and useful for users. EA assumes that all content in search results must be correct, useful and expert – which in itself significantly restricts authors and site owners who want to advance with the help of key queries. According to experts, the key queries themselves will also not go anywhere, but their effectiveness will be noticeably lower in articles without taking into account E.A.T.

Thus, in order to achieve effective search promotion in 2021, an online store or a corporate website must have expert, and most importantly, unique content. We should also not forget about the uniqueness, despite all the difficulties of E. A. T. – this is not the only problem that has fallen on the heads of site owners and those who are just planning to order the creation of a turnkey online store from specialists.

The search giant strives to provide its users with the most convenient conditions for consuming content and purchasing products from different companies. To do this, in addition to the expert information, you also need the speed of loading the site. Google was very painstaking about the speed of loading sites earlier, but soon this parameter will become almost the main one among those that have an impact on ranking. Core Web Vitals is a group of new ranking factors from Google aimed at studying, measuring and obtaining data on the loading speed of your site. Core Web Vitals will increasingly influence the ranking over time, and therefore it is worth preparing for it in advance.

This article will be useful for those who already own a website, and for those who are just planning to order the development of an online store, because both will have to put up with Core Web Vitals. But what is Core Web Vitals? What ranking factors does it consist of and how to prepare for their arrival? We will talk about this further, let's start!

What ranking factors does Core Web Vitals consist of?

As we said earlier – Core Web Vitals is not one, but several ranking factors combined with a good goal. The factors that hit Core Web Vitals, according to Google, are almost the main ones in the issue of comfort for the client in terms of download speed. So if you plan to take a leading position in the search results – you should prepare for Core Web Vitals right now. But what ranking factors does Core Web Vitals consist of?

Largest Contentful Paint

This factor provides search algorithms with information about how quickly the largest object or information on your site is loaded-in relation to other elements of the site. According to the company, the client should spend as little time as possible waiting. To do this, the site owner and his specialists can configure the download so that the materials appear gradually, and the client receives information even during the download process. This tactic of working with the Largest Contentful Paint is the simplest and far from the only one. Nevertheless, this is the simplest and most obvious solution, which, among other things, will also help your site to get into the search results more often.

First Input Delay

This factor is responsible for the amount of time that has passed between the client's click on the link of your site in the search results and the moment when he can directly interact with the site. It is worth considering that if the client needs to wait a long time to use the site – the effectiveness and indicators of lead generation decrease. At the same time, the percentage of refusals is growing, which, by the way, does not affect the ranking, so far.

Cumulative Layout Shift

This ranking factor is entirely aimed at the comfort of the user and your potential client. Its essence is to measure how much the elements of your site are shifted during loading in relation to their location after loading. The problem of shifting elements has always been one of the most annoying from the point of view of customers. Often, the user simply does not want to wait for the full loading of the site and seeing the element that he needs, he clicks on it without hesitation, if the indicator of mixing elements during loading is high – the client of your site has every chance to choose the wrong tab or button that he originally wanted to choose. This situation has an extremely negative impact on the quality and value of the user experience, and therefore it is not surprising that this factor has become one of the main ones for ranking and has become one of the factors for Core Web Vitals.

Each of these factors is of great importance for ranking. To get satisfactory results and good positions in search results, 80% of your site's pages must meet at least the minimum requirements for these factors. At the same time, if the pages of your site have excellent results for all three ranking factors, the chances of taking the first places in the search results increase significantly.

Nevertheless, in addition to Core Web Vitals, the main thing for search algorithms is still the quality and information content of your website. Having ordered the creation of a turnkey online store from the specialists of a web studio – you should be extremely scrupulous in negotiating. It is advisable to make sure in advance of the competence of the team you have chosen and get acquainted with the reviews and results of the work of the web studio.

Why is Google introducing new ranking factors and site requirements

The answer to this question is actually extremely simple – Google is interested in growth and development. In order for new users to switch from other search engines to Google, the company needs to provide users with something that no one else has or that is in an extremely small percentage – and this is comfort. Google strives to provide its customers with the maximum convenience for searching for information, and tries to guarantee its authenticity by increasing the efficiency of the E. A. T. principle. The company also wants to achieve only effective and convenient search results. Thus, thanks to EA and the introduction of Core Web Vitals as the main group of factors for ranking, Google wants to influence the quality of search results, enabling new, more competent and interesting sites to take leading positions in search results.

The introduction of Core Web Vitals was not a surprise for most marketers and other specialists in this niche. Nevertheless, the logical question is, how do we measure the ranking factors included in Core Web Vitals? Achieving effective promotion results will require very specific indicators from site owners. Google also made sure that each site owner could comfortably evaluate his site in accordance with Core Web Vitals, and draw conclusions about the upcoming work to improve these indicators. We will talk further about how to measure the ranking factors included in Core Web Vitals, and how to improve the existing indicators.

How will Google measure the results of Core Web Vitals and how can it influence the indicators of ranking factors
In order to measure the indicators, Google, as in many other evaluation niches, will use Real User Monitoring or RUM. Real User Monitoring or RUM is real user data that the company receives due to the fact that users use the tools and capabilities of Google.

Based on the data obtained, the company will be able to track and evaluate the user experience, and ranking will be based on it. It is worth considering that the user experience is affected not only by the loading speed and expert content, but also by more mundane things – such as the intuitiveness of the structure and design.

1. Pay attention to different devices

As we remember, Google strives not only to speed up the loading of sites, but also to make them more user-friendly from the point of view of users. This desire is expressed not only in the formation of Core Web Vitals, but also in the emphasis on the ability to use the site on any device.

As we remember, sites that do not have a mobile version, adaptive design or are not created for mobile devices receive less encouraging results in terms of promotion, compared to resources that have a mobile version. In order to achieve good results of promotion, including Core Web Vitals, you will need to pay attention to both the speed of loading the site on desktops and on mobile devices. Remember that Core Web Vitals takes into account all the indicators and you need to be ready for this.

If you are just planning to order the creation of a turnkey online store – the best solution for you will be to use mobile first. By launching the development of an online store that is initially created for use on mobile devices, you will significantly reduce the development time, since it is much easier and faster to scale such a site for desktops than vice versa. In addition, mobile first is more preferable from the point of view of search algorithms, since in the case of such a design, the user experience is often better than with adaptive design.

2. Image Optimization

In many ways, the size of the images used affects the loading speed of the site. In order to leave only high-quality images on the site, but at the same time get an increase in download speed, you should think about using new image formats. Their final size is significantly smaller than that of more familiar formats, and therefore the load on the site and, consequently, the amount of time required to load a web resource will significantly decrease.

3. Code optimization

In order for the online store that you are planning to order to load as quickly as possible, there should be no extra directories and symbols in its code. This parameter significantly affects the loading speed, since the search engine tries to process everything that is present on the site. By optimizing the site code and getting rid of unnecessary directories, your specialists can significantly affect the loading speed of your Internet resource, which in the future may give your site the opportunity to take more favorable positions in search results.

4. Specifics in the location for advertising banners

In order to avoid critical shifts of the interface and individual ad blocks, accurately allocate places for placing banners. Thus, the system will understand in which places it is necessary to place an advertising banner, and the risk that your client will click on the wrong link will be significantly reduced.

Having done all the above preparations, you will be able to prepare your Internet resource as much as possible for the arrival of Core Web Vitals.

How to simplify the task and launch a promising website
In order to launch an online store in 2021 and make it successful, you need to have a lot of knowledge, skills and experience. To cope alone with the development of an online store will not work, because the quality of such a site will be incomparably lower than if it is developed by a team of specialists. In addition, to create an online store website, it is necessary to have information about the latest requirements and trends for effective promotion.
