Have you ever wondered why competitors rank higher than you on Google, even though your content is better? The answer often lies in the technology. Google uses the so-called Core Web Vitals to objectively evaluate the user experience. If your numbers are in the red, you become invisible.
What are Core Web Vitals?
In short: they are three metrics that Google collects directly from your visitors' Chrome browsers:
- LCP (Largest Contentful Paint): How long does it take for the main image or main text to load?
- INP (Interaction to Next Paint): How quickly does the page react when a user clicks a link or button?
- CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift): Do elements "jump" around on the page while loading?
The Swiss Advantage: Milliseconds Matter
A decisive factor for good scores is the server response time (TTFB). If your website is hosted by a US provider, the signal must first cross the Atlantic. With Swiss web hosting from CURIAWEB, the servers are right "around the corner." Data paths are short, which massively improves your LCP values.
3 Tips for Better Web Vitals
- Use Caching: Use tools like LiteSpeed Cache to provide static copies of your site.
- Optimize Images: Use modern formats like WebP or AVIF to reduce file size without losing quality.
- Performance Hosting: Cheap shared hosting shares resources with thousands of others. Our VPS Cloud Servers guarantee the CPU power you need for fast response times.
Ensure that Google loves your website. With CURIAWEB, you rely on an infrastructure optimized for speed and stability in Switzerland.
