Core Web Vitals or CWVs is a buzz phrase these days. If you are the owner of a website or online store, you must have heard it several times in the past few months. People might have also said that CWVs were important for some reason, and you wondered what it was. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you started looking for answers and landed on this page. Right in the bull\u2019s eye! In this post, we will dot all the i\u2019s and cross all the t\u2019s as far as CWVs are concerned. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprise, surprise! Google knows this, too. That\u2019s why in May 2021, it announced that it would update its algorithm by introducing new <\/span>Core Web Vitals<\/b>. These are a<\/span> set of three key measurements<\/b> designed to gauge user experience: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
