Core Web Vitals Tuner

Improve LCP, INP, and CLS systematically.

LCP Optimization (<2.5s)

Prioritized Fixes:

  1. Optimize images (Biggest impact)

    <!-- Before -->
    <img src="hero.jpg" />
    
    <!-- After -->
    <img
      src="hero.jpg"
      srcset="hero-400.webp 400w, hero-800.webp 800w, hero-1200.webp 1200w"
      sizes="(max-width: 600px) 400px, (max-width: 1200px) 800px, 1200px"
      loading="eager"
      fetchpriority="high"
    />
    
  2. Preload LCP resource

    <link rel="preload" as="image" href="/hero.webp" fetchpriority="high" />
    
  3. Inline critical CSS

    <style>
      /* Above-the-fold styles */
      .hero {
        display: flex;
        height: 100vh;
      }
    </style>
    
  4. Use CDN

    • Serve images from CloudFront/Cloudflare
    • Enable HTTP/2 or HTTP/3

INP Optimization (<200ms)

Fixes:

  1. Debounce expensive interactions

    import { debounce } from "lodash";
    
    const handleSearch = debounce((query) => {
      fetchResults(query);
    }, 300);
    
  2. Use Web Workers for heavy tasks

    const worker = new Worker("processor.js");
    worker.postMessage(largeData);
    worker.onmessage = (e) => console.log(e.data);
    
  3. Code splitting

    const HeavyComponent = lazy(() => import("./HeavyComponent"));
    

CLS Optimization (<0.1)

Fixes:

  1. Reserve space for images/ads

    <img src="banner.jpg" width="1200" height="600" />
    
  2. Use CSS aspect-ratio

    .video-container {
      aspect-ratio: 16 / 9;
    }
    
  3. Avoid injecting content above existing

    .notification {
      position: fixed;
      top: 0;
    }
    

Verification

# Lighthouse CI
npm run lighthouse -- --url=https://example.com

# Web Vitals in production
import { getCLS, getFID, getLCP } from 'web-vitals';

getCLS(console.log);
getFID(console.log);
getLCP(console.log);
