In this video, you'll learn how to optimize Google's Core Web Vitals and speed up your WordPress site using Gutenberg for your Largest Contentful Paint, First Input Delay, and Cumulative Layout shift scores in Google PageSpeed Insights which will lead to a Google ranking boost.
If you have a slow WordPress site and are struggling with how to speed up your Core Web Vitals scores, then this tutorial will run you through several WordPress speed optimization tips that will take your painfully slow WordPress site to scores of 100 in both the desktop and mobile tab in Google PageSpeed Insights.
Also, you'll learn what things you should use GTMetrix for to test your WordPress page speed and where to be careful as GTMetrix generally uses an outdated Google Lighthouse version.

First, I'll talk about what each of the three Core Web Vitals is: Largest Contentful Paint, First Input Delay (which can be interchanged with Total Blocking Time), and Cumulative Layout Shift.
Then, I'll go over my Core Web Vitals journey from a very slow blog that had an average page load time of 17 SECONDS to a blog that now passes all of the Core Web Vitals on both the desktop and mobile tabs in Google PageSpeed Insights.
I'll talk about where I see a lot of people go wrong when figuring out how to speed up their WordPress site (hint: you don't need 7 or 8 caching or optimization plugins).
Next, I'll talk about 4 core changes you can make to automatically speed up your WordPress site and pass Core Web Vitals:
1. Use high-performance WordPress hosting
2. Use a lightweight, Gutenberg-ready WordPress theme
3. Use Gutenberg (the built-in WordPress editor) to build your pages
4. Use a proper caching plugin
Lastly, I'll talk about front-end optimizations you can enable using a caching plugin to speed up your WordPress website and specific tips and tricks on how to optimize images and fonts.
With this whole speed optimization package, you're sure to pass Core Web Vitals and get that precious Google ranking boost!
