If largest content full paint is high, don't try and optimize largest content full paint until you understand, okay, what's going on with first content full paint, what's going on with time to first byte, what's going on with DOM content loaded, what's going on with these other metrics.
So you have to understand some of those things.
And then once you understand that next level down of, okay, what are the metrics behind Cora Vitals?
What are those leading indicators that there might be problems?
Then you can go one level deeper and you can say, okay, well what's causing that?
So maybe largest content full paint is high because first content full paint is high and first content full paint is high because time to first bite is high.
Okay, how do you fix time to first bite?
And then you can start digging in, you know, from there.
I think that's the way to to look at it is that I I see too many people just stay on the surface and they just try and focus on how do I make
INP faster, L C P, C L S, all these you know core vitals numbers faster, but you gotta dig a little bit deeper and say, okay, well what's behind that?
Because
Those metrics are all at the end of the website loading.
Those metrics are all late stage metrics that come in and tell you something about.
how the website is operating long after somebody has requested the website, long after the the website has started processing, you've got to understand those earlier stages to be able to to really understand how to fix core vitals and and how to improve them.
Mm-hmm.
Right.
Yeah, I would actually say in this case, Google's tools are not what you want to be using.
Um, I tend to find Google's tools are great for getting that high level look, but they don't give you enough detail to really understand why.
So one of the tools that I recommend and I use all the time is web page test.
I think it is one of the best tools to let you dig in and you can get really clear ideas of of how things are loading.
