Google's web.dev site describes three measures of page experience called Core Web Vitals. They sound technical, but each one answers a simple question about how a page feels to use.
This guide is based on the public sources listed at the end. We have not tested the products or services mentioned.
This is a short reference page. The full guide is Web Hosting and Domains: The Complete Guide.
The three measures
| Measure | What it covers | "Good" target |
|---|---|---|
| Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) | Loading: how soon the main content appears | 2.5 seconds or less |
| Interaction to Next Paint (INP) | Responsiveness: how soon the page reacts after a tap or click | 200 milliseconds or less |
| Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) | Visual stability: how much the page jumps around while loading | 0.1 or less |
How a page passes
The page is assessed at the 75th percentile of page loads, separately for mobile and desktop. A page passes if all three measures meet their targets at that point.
Where hosting comes in
Server response time and caching can affect LCP. When comparing hosts you can ask whether caching is included and whether the plan offers a content delivery network. We have no source on what any particular host offers, so check each host's own page.
What this does not tell you
The web.dev page describes how the measures work. It does not say that a good score will raise a page's position in search results, so do not buy a plan on that promise.
The short version
Three numbers: 2.5 seconds, 200 milliseconds, 0.1. Test your own pages on mobile, and ask hosts about caching rather than headline speed claims. See also our guide to hosting types.
