Core Web Vitals Optimization Checklist for Online Stores

This comprehensive checklist provides a structured framework specifically designed for e-commerce and online stores to optimize their websites according to Google’s Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) standards. It details actionable, prioritized steps covering LCP reduction (image optimization, lazy loading, preloading), CLS mitigation (explicit dimensions, stabilizing dynamic content), and INP enhancement (JS optimization, passive listeners). The guide also includes general performance best practices (HTTP/2, caching, minification) and critical e-commerce-specific optimizations (like image galleries, filtering, and checkout flow). Finally, it outlines essential measurement and monitoring techniques. Implementing these steps helps improve site speed, user experience, search rankings, and ultimately, conversion rates.
