Why Core Web Vitals dictate organic conversion in 2025

Google has made Core Web Vitals a major search ranking signal and user satisfaction metric. An LCP exceeding 2.5s or INP over 200ms directly hurts organic conversion.

Here are the key optimizations I implement during performance audits: - **Fetch Priority on Hero Images**: Always set `priority` on above-the-fold assets. - **Self-hosted Fonts via `next/font`**: Eliminates Google Fonts roundtrips. - **Zero CLS**: Strict layout aspect ratios on all dynamic containers.
