In this video I walk you through a simple, practical way to optimize Core Web Vitals in WordPress—and I start with the one thing most people skip: measuring. I use Google’s own PageSpeed Insights to check the baseline score first, because that’s the fastest way to see where you stand and what Google is actually reporting for metrics like First Contentful Paint and Largest Contentful Paint. In my test, the site starts at 82/100: not terrible, but definitely not where you want to be if performance matters. Then I show how I improved those results using a single free plugin: Super Page Cache. After installing and activating it, I go into Settings and enable page cache (I leave the other defaults as-is), then in Files I turn on optimized Google Fonts and store Google Fonts locally. In Media, I enable lazy loading so images load only when they’re actually needed. After updating settings, preloading the cache, and rerunning PageSpeed Insights, the performance score jumps to 99/100—with big improvements in FCP and LCP, both landing in the green. The takeaway is simple: you can get a huge Core Web Vitals win by caching properly and ticking a few high-impact options.
