The Impact of Heavy Images on Core Web Vitals

What are Core Web Vitals?

Google uses Core Web Vitals to measure user experience. Heavy images directly damage your LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) score, leading to higher bounce rates and lower SEO rankings.

Fixing the Issue

Implement lazy loading, serve responsive image sizes using srcset, and leverage next-gen formats like WebP or AVIF.
