Since March 2024, Google has introduced a new algorithm change that could impact your website's ranking. This change revolves around Core Web Vitals, explicitly focusing on the Interaction to the Next Paint (INP) metric, which replaces the previous First Input Delay (FID).   👉 What Are Core Web Vitals? Core Web Vitals comprise a set of metrics that measure the real-world user experience on a website. They focus on three key areas:   ✅ Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): This measures the time it takes for the most significant element on a page to be fully loaded. An optimal result is below 2.5 seconds. ✅ First Input Delay (FID): This assesses how quickly a page responds to a user’s first interaction (e.g., clicking a link). An optimal result is below 100 milliseconds. ✅ Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): CLS gauges a page's visual stability during loading. The optimal score is below 0.1.   ❔ What’s Changing?   Starting from March 2024, FID is being replaced by INP. This means that Google will pay more attention to user interactions with your site. Your website must respond swiftly to their actions.   ❔ How to Adapt Your Website:   Here are some steps to optimize your site based on Core Web Vitals:   📌 Optimize LCP: Ensure significant elements load quickly (such as images and headers). Compress graphics, use Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), and optimize your code. 📌 Minimize CLS: Avoid layout shifts during loading. Set dimensions for elements (e.g., images) in HTML to prevent unexpected shifts. 📌 Monitor INP: Check how quickly your site responds to user interactions. Utilize tools to measure response times.   Summary:   Google’s algorithm change presents an opportunity to enhance your site’s quality. Adapt it to meet Core Web Vitals standards and improve your search engine rankings.   📞 If you need assistance, contact us – we offer website optimization services! 🚀   #NetSwifter #BizBetter

Here are the typical reasons why higher education institution websites have slow loading times: ◾ They think the best way to add excitement to their pages is with video. ◾ They don’t have the resources for (or don’t really know about) CDNs to serve their images. ◾ They have a bunch of junk code lingering, and they don’t have the time or resources to get it all cleared out. Fixing loading times can feel secondary to other, less technical priorities. So many of these issues don’t get their due in strategy discussions or time and resource allocation. But, have you ever been out and about, and you’ve tried to check a fact on your phone? You know the information is easy to find, but the page is taking forever to load; in fact, you’re not even sure if it will load. Can you feel your own frustration? Now, imagine a prospective student waiting for someone in a car in a pharmacy parking lot. The prospective student googles “best college in my city for engineering,” and your link appears. Good for you and your SEO! That prospect clicks on the link to your site, and it doesn’t load right away. Seconds go by, and half the page comes up, but it’s slow, and as they scroll, parts of your page look broken. So, they hit the back button and go to the next link. Can you empathize with their experience? That’s why Bravery created Benchmark Website Performance. It’s a fast, affordable way to learn what’s making your website slow and how to fix it. https://lnkd.in/d5p8q6kS #higheredmarketing #highered
