A comprehensive guide to optimizing your Next.js application for peak performance and Google rankings. Practical tips for LCP, FID, and CLS improvements.

Why Speed Matters

Google's Core Web Vitals are now a critical ranking factor. A slow site doesn't just annoy users; it disappears from search results.

LCP (Largest Contentful Paint)

Optimize your hero images. Use Next.js `Image` component properly.

CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift)

Always define dimensions for your media elements to prevent layout jumping.
