How to Fix Core Web Vitals in Under 5 Minutes

Detect and solve speed, security, and accessibility problems in minutes — not days — with AI-powered, prioritized recommendations.

The 3 Metrics That Matter

LCP< 2.5s

Largest Contentful Paint

How fast the main content loads. Top offenders: render-blocking CSS/JS, unoptimized hero images, slow server response.

Fix: Preload the hero, compress images, defer third-party scripts.

CLS< 0.1

Cumulative Layout Shift

How much the layout jumps. Top offenders: images and ads without reserved space, late-loading web fonts.

Fix: Add width/height to media, use font-display: swap, reserve ad slots.

INP< 200ms

Interaction to Next Paint

How quickly the page responds to taps and clicks. Top offenders: heavy JavaScript on the main thread.

Fix: Break up long tasks, remove unused JS, batch handlers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fix all three metrics?

Google assesses all three; a page should pass LCP, CLS, and INP to be considered good. Start with the metric your audit flags as worst — it usually has the biggest impact on rankings.

Can I improve Core Web Vitals without a plugin?

Yes. Many fixes are simple: compress images, use next-gen formats, defer non-critical JavaScript, and set explicit dimensions on media. Scanly tells you exactly which file each fix applies to.

Is speed a ranking factor?

Yes. Core Web Vitals have been a confirmed ranking consideration since June 2021, and the metrics remain a core part of Google's Page Experience assessment in 2026.

What about accessibility and security?

The same free audit covers them. WCAG accessibility issues and missing security headers are prioritized alongside speed — so you fix all three problem areas in one pass.

What is the quickest single fix that helps most sites?

Compressing and properly sizing hero images, and deferring third-party scripts, resolve LCP and CLS for a large share of sites — both are steps Scanly surfaces in its top recommendations.
