Hi,

I like to improve our website's core web vitals. Can someone help me with some expert inputs to what should I do first?

Here is my website link - https://crystaivf.com/

Thanks & Regards,
Sunil Joshi

I have created a personal playbook on things you can do to improve Core Web Vitals, but it is pretty lengthy, requires a lot of engineering hours. In some areas, it helped us to cut performance in half.

Looks like most visits to the site come from phones, and the loading performance (LCP) is poor.
The PageSpeed Insights links gives some advice, e.g. looks that there's quite a bit of javascript on the mainthread and quite a few resources needed to render the page; and the lcp image may be experiencing a resource load delay - but I'm probably not the best person as to what to prioritize to work on, sorry.

For subjective experience, I opened this on my personal phone (Pixel 6a, wifi / cable internet) and it loaded ok; I didn't feel it was a terrible delay. It seems it loads quite a lot of content which then requires both vertical and horizontal scrolling to explore, in addition to the menu in the upper right (which links to even more content). Whether that's a good design choice I don't know - it could be good because a site visitor can read and see a lot of things without an additional navigation, but I would also speculate that some of the performance implications or difficulties to make the initial load fast come from that? I guess I'm wondering how much of the loading activity and Javascript main thread execution has to do with what's in the initial viewport (which looks nice on my phone) vs with what's going to need to be there if / once I scroll. Please don't overinterpret, I figured I'd just share my (maybe a bit naive) observations, if someone has expert thoughts on the site that's probably better. Good wishes.

Things to take into consideration:

  • CDN for public caching
  • HTTP/3 (at Edge)
  • IPv6 Dualstack (at Edge)
  • Persistent Connections for TCP reuse
  • Compression FROM origin to CDN, NOT on the fly
  • Image Management (compression and modern file formats)
  • Early Hints
  • Speculation Rules API
  • ECC SSL Certificates
  • Early Data 0-RTT
