Why care about web vitals? and should you imperatively optimize for them?

Web vitals can be seen as statistical benchmarks that define a high-performing website.

They enable you to measure specific facets of web performance, compare your results, and take steps to enhance your scores.

Their goal is not to set you up for failure. It’s quite the opposite. Take it as the push that you need to meet standards set by the top players of the industry.

While it’s not mandatory to optimize for web vitals, the benefit from doing so will help get better user experience for your visitors, and comply to one of Google’s ranking factors, where performance is taken into consideration.
