A sluggish Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) will dent your SEO performance
Just when you thought you knew everything you needed to tweak for optimal SEO, Google announces the Page Experience Update which drops a new range of SEO related page performance criteria on us (Core web Vitals) and will come into play starting mid June 2021.
Essentially, those who’ve been in denial about the impact of page performance on SEO can’t ignore it any longer. Speed matters. But notably, speed as defined by Google.
