Website speed is a major ranking factor and user experience signal. A slow website can increase bounce rates, reduce conversions, and harm SEO. OneClickSEO provides a full breakdown of your page performance using real-time audits.
Where to View Speed Metrics #
Once you audit your website:
- Go to the “Technical” or “Performance” tab.
- You’ll find key metrics such as:
- Page Load Time (in seconds)
- Time to First Byte (TTFB)
- Core Web Vitals scores (LCP, FID, CLS)
Explaining Key Metrics #
- LCP (Largest Contentful Paint)
Measures how quickly the main content appears.
Target: Less than 2.5 seconds.
- FID (First Input Delay)
Measures how quickly a user can interact with your site.
Target: Less than 100ms.
- CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift)
Indicates how stable your layout is during loading.
Target: Less than 0.1.
