In today's highly competitive digital landscape, having a fast and responsive website is not just a luxury, but a critical necessity for business success. This is especially true as Google places significant emphasis on Core Web Vitals, a set of metrics that directly impact SEO rankings. Today, Achiever, a Thai technology company with over 21 years of experience and an AWS Partner, will guide you through what Core Web Vitals are, how they affect SEO, and the techniques to help your business website achieve a "green" score.
What Are Core Web Vitals and Why Are They Crucial for SEO
Core Web Vitals are a set of three key metrics that Google uses to evaluate user experience on web pages. These include loading performance, interactivity, and visual stability. A website with good Core Web Vitals not only provides a better user experience but is also a significant factor in Google's SEO rankings.
Key Core Web Vitals Metrics
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
Measures the time it takes for the largest content element on the page to become visible. This reflects the overall loading speed of the page. A "good" LCP should be under 2.5 seconds. - First Input Delay (FID)
Measures the time from when a user first interacts with a page (e.g., clicking a button) to when the browser is actually able to respond to that interaction. This indicates the responsiveness of the website. A "good" FID should be under 100 milliseconds. - Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
Measures the visual stability of a page. It quantifies unexpected shifts of layout elements, which can cause users to click on the wrong element or become disoriented. A "good" CLS should be under 0.1.
How Core Web Vitals Impact SEO Rankings
Since 2021, Google has announced Core Web Vitals as a significant ranking factor. This means that if your website has poor Core Web Vitals scores, Google may rank it lower in search results, leading to reduced visibility and potential loss of business opportunities.
Furthermore, Core Web Vitals affect:
- User Experience
Slow or unresponsive websites frustrate users, causing them to leave quickly (higher bounce rate). - Bounce Rate
When users have a poor experience, the bounce rate increases, signaling to Google that your website is not helpful. - Conversion Rate
Fast and stable websites are more likely to build trust and lead to desired actions or purchases.
Techniques to Get Your Business Website to "Green" with Achiever
Improving Core Web Vitals to achieve a "green" score requires technical expertise and careful planning. Achiever, with over 21 years of experience as a technology company and an AWS Partner, is ready to help your business overcome this challenge.
1. Optimize Server Performance and Hosting
Server response time is crucial for LCP. Choosing a high-performance hosting provider and proper configuration can significantly reduce loading times.
- How Achiever Helps
Through our Cloud Managed Service and Cloud Migration services to AWS, we can help your business plan, configure, and maintain a seamless cloud infrastructure. This ensures your website runs on optimal servers on AWS, a leading global cloud platform.
2. Optimize Images and Videos
Overly large images and videos are a primary cause of slow website loading. Images should be compressed, use appropriate formats (e.g., WebP), and be properly sized.
- How Achiever Helps
In our Software Development or Website/E-commerce Design services, we prioritize media optimization to ensure fast loading without compromising visual quality.
3. Minimize CSS and JavaScript Files
Minifying and concatenating CSS and JavaScript files, along with removing unnecessary code, helps reduce browser loading and processing times.
- How Achiever Helps
Our DevOps team can help set up CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) processes to ensure that deployed code is always optimized and performant, along with continuous performance monitoring.
4. Implement Caching Techniques
Caching allows browsers to store some website data, significantly speeding up subsequent visits.
- How Achiever Helps
As part of our Cloud Managed Service, we configure and fine-tune caching systems suitable for your website on AWS for maximum performance.
5. Prioritize Resource Loading
Load critical resources for the initial page view (above-the-fold content) first, and defer non-essential resources to reduce LCP.
- How Achiever Helps
Our Software Development and Website Design teams are skilled in structuring code and implementing techniques like Lazy Loading or Preloading to ensure primary content appears quickly.
6. Create a Responsive Design Website
Websites designed to adapt and display well on all devices not only enhance user experience but also help reduce CLS.
- How Achiever Helps
Achiever specializes in Website/E-commerce Design and Software Development with a focus on UX/UI and Responsive Design, ensuring your website functions perfectly on every screen.
7. Utilize a Content Delivery Network (CDN)
A CDN distributes website content to servers closer to users, accelerating data loading.

As an AWS Partner, we can help set up and manage CDNs like Amazon CloudFront to enhance data delivery speed for users worldwide.
