Have you ever visited a website that took too long to load or moved around while you were trying to read it. That can be frustrating. Google also thinks so. That is why it created something called Core Web Vitals. These are a set of important rules that help websites load fast and work better for users. Now, in 2025, Google is updating these rules. The new version is called Core Web Vitals 2.0.
In this blog, BeatUp Technology explains what these changes mean and how you can get ready.
What Are Core Web Vitals?
Core Web Vitals are tools made by Google. They help check how well a website works. These tools look at three important things:
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): This checks how fast the biggest thing on the page loads. It could be a picture or a big heading.
- First Input Delay (FID): This checks how quickly your website answers when someone clicks or taps on it.
- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): This looks at how much the page moves while it is loading. If things jump around a lot, that is not good.
These rules help Google see if a website gives people a good experience. If your website follows these rules, Google might show your site higher in search results.
What’s New in Core Web Vitals 2.0?
Google is updating Core Web Vitals in 2025. These updates will change how websites are ranked. Let’s see what’s new.
1. FID Will Be Replaced by INP
Google will stop using FID and start using a new tool called INP (Interaction to Next Paint). INP is better because it looks at all the clicks, taps, and typing a person does on your site—not just the first click.
For example: If someone clicks a button and nothing happens for a while, the INP score will be low. But if your site responds quickly and works smoothly, your INP score will be high.
2. More Focus on Mobile Experience
Most people now visit websites using their phones. So, Google is now paying more attention to how websites work on mobile phones. Your website should:
- Load fast on mobile data
- Have text that is easy to read on small screens
- Have buttons and links that are easy to tap
- Avoid pop-ups that are hard to close
If your site is hard to use on a phone, it might show lower in search results.
3. User Experience Matters More
Core Web Vitals already help decide your website’s ranking. But in 2025, they will become even more important. Google wants websites to be fast, simple, and clear.
This means your website needs to have not only good content but also work smoothly. If your site is slow or messy, you might lose visitors—even if your content is very good.
How to Get Ready for Core Web Vitals 2.0
Now that you know what’s changing, here are some easy things you can do to get your website ready:
1. Use Tools to Test Your Website
You can use these free tools:
- Google PageSpeed Insights
- Lighthouse (in the Chrome browser)
- Google Search Console
These tools show your Core Web Vitals scores and tell you what needs fixing.
2. Make Your Website Load Faster
Here’s how:
- Make pictures smaller
- Use simple fonts and fewer moving effects
- Remove extra code
- Use fast website hosting
A fast website helps people and helps your site rank better.
3. Fix Page Movements
Sometimes things on the page move around while loading. This can bother people. To fix this:
- Set proper sizes for images and videos
- Make space for ads or banners
- Keep buttons in the same spot
4. Make It Easy to Use on Phones
- Use big, clear text
- Make buttons big enough to tap easily
- Don’t put small links too close together
- Check your site on different phones
5. Make Buttons and Forms Faster
- Use less heavy code (like JavaScript)
- Load scripts only when needed
- Make sure buttons and forms respond quickly
If your website works fast, people will be happy, and your INP score will be better.
