STYLES & CSS

WP Core Web Vitals helps you minify, compress and optimize CSS files.

Critical CSS: Critical CSS (the CSS that is used to render the visible viewport) is placed inline in the head of the page. Now the browser starts rendering immediately without downloading all your stylesheets. Sounds good? Sure but only for new visitors!

Optimized file-size: Since styles are as fast as the slowest stylesheet WP Core Weg Vitals can redesign your stylesheets. It will create even sized stylesheets that will finish downloading at the same time.

Images

WP Core Web Vitals will prioritize your important images and lazy load below-the-fold images.

LCP Detection: The most important thing to do is to define the LCP element. WP Core Web Vitals has a smart parser that will do most of the work for you! We can preload it through a preload link or even a 103 header.

Lazy loading: Below the fold images should be lazy loaded and ansyn rendered. We will help you lazy load these image through native lazy loading or a lightweight JavaScript loader.

Scripts

Scripts are the worst nightmare for a web performance engineer. Scripts should have a time a and a place. Wordpress does not enforce this. This results to scripts blovcking the browser and exectuging early.

Deferred loading: Wp Core Web Vitals can defer all your Scripts at once. If your scripts do not change the lay-out too much this will be a a great choice and will definitely speed up your page a lot!

Priority finetuning: With deferring scripts 2 things might go worng. Scripts either execute too late or still too early. Priority finetuning can fix this!

Caching

Caching a page can make it appear almost instantly with full page caching there is no need to generate the the page on-the-fly. We can just instantly serve a version that was generated a few moments ago.

WP Core Web Vitals can ensure that cache files get refreshed automatically and will only serve cached versions of the page to the right visitors!

Page options

WordPress plugin have a tendency to add way too many preload, prefetch and dns-prefetch resource hints to the page. WP Core Web Vitals can remove the bad ones for you.

Content visibility: Content visibility defers rendering of certain parts of the page until they are almost in the visible viewport. WP Core Web Vitals can apply content-visibility settings for your footer.

Fonts

Fonts tend to cause issues with layout shifts and might slow down the page when there is no adequate font strategy.

Font Strategy: WP Core Web Vitals will let your upload your own font files, customize the font-display property and preload the fonts if needed.

Icons: For icon fonts WP Core Web Vitals will give you the opportunity to defer the loading of these fonts to avoid network competition with other, more important resources.

How?

A word of caution!

PageSpeed plugins love to present the concept of fixing the Core Web Vitals as something as simple as clicking a button.  If that were true I would be out of a job :-)

In some cases they are right. Basic best practice will get you a long way. For example, lazy loading below the fold images will most definitely speed up your site!

After implementing all the good practices we get to a point where what is good for one page might not be good for another. For example deferring render critical scripts will only make your page slower (while deferring non-render critical scripts will probably make it faster).

That's why you will need to take some time to properly configure the plugin! Click-and-go might seem appealing but remember that the site is probably someone's business. Give it the attention it deserves!

1. Install

Download and Install WP Core Web Vitals. It comes with a predefined setup that will be pretty good for most WordPress website's

2. Configure

Take some time to properly configure the plugin. Test with the different settings until you have hit the sweet spot!

3. Enjoy
