Core Web Vitals for new SaaS?
hey everyone! just launched my first saas and starting to get some traction, which is exciting. but im noticing my site feels a bit slow, especially on mobile.
i ran it through pagespeed insights and the core web vitals scores are... not great. im a complete noob when it comes to site speed optimization and technical seo stuff.
what are the absolute best first steps for someone like me to improve core web vitals for a simple marketing site/landing page? im kinda overwhelmed by all the options.
any beginner-friendly tips or common pitfalls i should look out for?

Answered 4 days agoJust a quick heads-up, itโs 'Iโm' not 'im' when you mean 'I am' โ a common typo when youโre moving fast, and I totally get the frustration with slow Core Web Vitals on new SaaS sites; I've been there myself. Your absolute first steps should be aggressive image optimization (WebP/AVIF and proper compression) and implementing lazy loading for all off-screen content to significantly improve LCP and FID.
