What is Core Web Vital?
I saw the new report in Google Search Console named as Core Web Vitals. Do WA has some training to know about it? Should we prepare earlier to face it?
I still remember the last bad experience switching to New Google GA4, Traffic dropped from 1K to zero for few weeks.
I hope this new Core Web Vitals will not pull away all the traffic. Can someone give advice how to face it?
Attached the Core Web Vitals here, come fast dropped also very fast.

Thanks for the Core Web Vitals complete guide in PDF. May take a lot of time to understand it.
Just like Feigner mentioned, media are the main thing affecting our page speed, just be aware of it.
FID is about file preload for speed up the loading.
CLS are popping up, cookies affecting the users. I have cookies only, but the test shown zero.
Am I right? It is what I learn today. It is best all members can read this file, send by Richard.

Hi Stephen, Diane has a great information link on Google's Web Core Vitals. I think they will be focussing a lot on your site speeds. There is another link I used along with Diane's to help me understand:

All the best,

Not easy to learn too technical for me. At least know something about it. I appreciated your information.
the core web vitals are a boost in rankings rather than a drop...
you will still rank highly for good quality content, but if all three are green then you may get a boost...but all three need ot be good....
it is also being run out over several omnths rather than over a short period...and i suspect that it will change over the next few years...
so carry on creating high quality content and you will still be ranked highly...
jsut make sure you follow good speed techniques...
small file size images, good quality theme, good quality plugins and chack your sitespeed...
good luck

i think kyle did a post about it....
Thanks I am fine if it is just a boost. I saw one old indication dropped to one. Site links Searchbox I do not know why. Is it OK?
google has just updated its algorithm for reviews and a lot of sites have been 'adjusted' as it is now looking for comparisons rather than just single reviews....
so there are a lot of changes going on at the moment....
but this is one reason not to just rely on google for traffic... you need to develop multiple streams of traffic so if one disappears then your business doesn't stop...
or have one you can control more...like email....
Thanks for the advice. I get some local investors here. And local Google has much more traffic than website. Thank you very much.

Thank you to all helping me to understand Core Web Vitals. My answer is in the reply to Richard.
Please open the link send by Richard, it is useful for preliminary understanding and work harder later.
I really appreciated the culture of the WA community, sharing anything we have to face the challenge in front of us.
I am really to face the Core Web Vitals now. Thank you.
