The most important metrics for measuring web speed. Core Web Vitals and the others.
Third-Party Blocking (3PBT)
Metric: Third-Party JavaScript Blocking Time (3PBT). This is an internal PageSpeed.cz monitoring indicator that helps you focus on issues caused by third-party components, which can degrade the Interactions (INP) metric. (3PBT)
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
Do ads on a website push the text you’re reading out of view? Frustrated when content shifts just before you click and you end up clicking somewhere else by mistake?
Core Web Vitals (CWV)
Core Web Vitals (CWV) is Google's essential set of metrics designed to reflect website loading speed and user experience. Let's explore which metrics it includes, why they matter, and how to measure them.
First Contentful Paint (FCP)
First Contentful Paint (FCP) is a metric that measures the time from the start of page load to the moment the browser renders the first piece of content on the page.
Interaction to Next Paint (INP)
Google introduces a new metric, Interaction to Next Paint (INP). In March 2024, as part of the three most important Core Web Vitals metrics, it will replace First Input Delay (FID).
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
The world of Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) metrics is like adrenaline-fueled auto racing—a constant race against the clock.
Lighthouse Score (LPS)
Lighthouse Performance Score (LPS) is a synthetic metric used to evaluate the speed and performance of websites, provided by the Lighthouse tool. The score is calculated from a range of metrics that simulate a user loading the page and provides an evaluative view of content speed and accessibility.
PageSpeed.cz Score (SPS)
We present a single number that acts as a proxy metric for Core Web Vitals on mobile and desktop. We call it the PageSpeed.cz Score (SPS).
Total Blocking Time (TBT)
Total Blocking Time (TBT) is a web performance metric that indicates the total time during which the page is not able to respond to user input.
Time To First Byte (TTFB)
TTFB shows the speed of the server (or infrastructure), the backend parts of the application, and also the network speed between the server and the user’s browser.
