Checker
Core Web Vitals checker
Core Web Vitals are the three page experience measurements Google reports from real visits: how fast the main content appears, how quickly the page responds to a tap, and how much the layout shifts while loading. Enter a page from your store and see the field data Google holds for it, plus a fresh lab test.
What the checker shows
It runs Google's PageSpeed Insights API from your browser for the URL you enter. The three field figures come from the Chrome User Experience Report, which aggregates real visits over the previous 28 days; they are the numbers Google uses for page experience, and they exist only when a page has enough traffic. The lab figures come from a single simulated load and vary between runs; they are useful for diagnosing what to fix, not for pass or fail decisions.
The thresholds
Largest Contentful Paint is good at 2.5 seconds or less, measured at the 75th percentile of visits. Interaction to Next Paint is good at 200 milliseconds or less. Cumulative Layout Shift is good at 0.1 or less. A page passes when all three are good at the 75th percentile. Product and collection pages matter more than the homepage here, because they receive most of the traffic from search and ads and they are where the theme's weight, image handling and app scripts do the most damage.
What usually moves the numbers on a store
For LCP, the hero or product image: its size, format, whether it is preloaded, and whether the theme lazy-loads it by mistake. For INP, third-party scripts and app embeds competing for the main thread when the shopper taps a variant or the add-to-cart button. For CLS, images and embeds without reserved dimensions, banners injected after load, and fonts that swap late. Check a product page, a collection page and the homepage separately, on mobile first.
Questions about this tool
Why does the checker show no field data for my page?
Google publishes field data only for URLs with enough real visits over the previous 28 days. New pages, low-traffic pages and pages behind a login show lab data only. Check a high-traffic collection page or the homepage to see field data for the store, and use the origin-level figures in Search Console.
Do Core Web Vitals affect rankings?
They are part of Google's page experience signals, which matter at the margin when pages are otherwise similar in relevance. They matter more for revenue than for rankings: a slow product page loses orders directly, whatever it ranks. Treat the thresholds as a baseline for the pages that sell.
The lab score changes every time I run it. Which number is right?
The field data. Lab runs simulate one load on one device and swing with network conditions and third-party scripts. Use the lab breakdown to find what to fix, then confirm the fix in field data over the following weeks.
