00:00:01 To get better performance, we first need to define what web performance even is.

00:00:06 And the answer is straightforward.

00:00:08 Web performance refers to how fast and smoothly a website works when you use it.

00:00:14 It's like the speed and efficiency of a car on the road.

00:00:18 Highlighting the smoothly part is essential because web performance isn't just about speed.

00:00:24 It's also about creating a website that's easy to navigate and use like a well-structured road.

00:00:31 Imagine trying to drive a sleek Ferrari on this kind of a road.

00:00:35 But then, how do we know if we have achieved the best performance for a site?

00:00:40 This is where Web Vitals, which Google introduced in 2020, come into play.

00:00:46 The term Web Vitals is a set of specific metrics and guidelines developed by Google to measure and improve the user experience on websites.

00:00:56 We as developers need these metrics to ensure that websites are fast, responsive, and provide a smooth user experience, which is crucial for user satisfaction

00:01:08 and search engine rankings.

00:01:10 Yes, depending on these metrics, the website that performs the best will be displayed first in search results.
