Core Web Vitals - Needs Improvement
3 replies · Started by Steve on May 13, 2021
Hi there,
On April 28 I submitted a ticket for Core Web Vitals issues and Elvin sent me this PHP snippet to add, here is the thread
https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/core-web-vitals-cls-issue-more-than-0-25-mobile/#post-1752145
Since then Google has upgraded from "Poor" to "Needs Improvement". Is it possible to improve to "Good"?
Here is a sample URL

Here are some screenshots of what I am seeing in Google Search Console

I am not sure what else you might need.
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
It's best to address these 2 first - https://share.getcloudapp.com/4gu2Bq0b
Ideally, the first one as the other things may depend on this.
This particular flag is Google basically telling us that the site's server is responding too slow from its request/s.
Now if the site responds too slow, the asset it serves will be delayed as well so it's best to address this first.
Note: This isn't something we can do anything about. This issue is about the site's server quality. Consider upgrading hosting plan or transfer to a better one.
Thanks for looking into this for me.
What link did you test? When I click on this link you provided ( https://share.getcloudapp.com/4gu2Bq0b), I don't see which link you tested.
I tested my main URL:
https://paddleabout.com/
and the link from my original message:
https://paddleabout.com/best-kayak-wall-mount
Both are currently passing with flying colors! I know mobile scores can change a lot during the day. I haven't made any further changes.
I wonder if I should tell Google to validate or not. Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Steve
Hi there,
checking both those links the Lab test data is great - i would say its fine to re-validate the site.
