core-web-vitals

core-web-vitals is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dallay/agentsync. It costs 66 tokens per session (2,987 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of core-web-vitals, MIT.

A guide for improving Core Web Vitals, Google’s measures of loading speed, responsiveness, and visual stability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to improve LCP, INP, and CLS, such as by addressing slow servers, blocking resources, and layout shifts.
Why use it?
It helps find page problems that make websites load slowly, respond late, or move around while loading, which can also affect search ranking.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

core-web-vitals scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to core-web-vitals — 61 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Core Web Vitals optimization

Targeted optimization for the three Core Web Vitals metrics that affect Google Search ranking and user experience.

The three metrics

Metric Measures Good Needs work Poor
LCP Loading ≤ 2.5s 2.5s – 4s > 4s
INP Interactivity ≤ 200ms 200ms – 500ms > 500ms
CLS Visual Stability ≤ 0.1 0.1 – 0.25 > 0.25

Google measures at the 75th percentile — 75% of page visits must meet "Good" thresholds.


LCP: Largest Contentful Paint

LCP measures when the largest visible content element renders. Usually this is:

  • Hero image or video
  • Large text block
  • Background image
  • <svg> element

Common LCP issues

1. Slow server response (TTFB > 800ms)

Fix: CDN, caching, optimized backend, edge rendering

2. Render-blocking resources

<!-- ❌ Blocks rendering -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/all-styles.css">

<!-- ✅ Critical CSS inlined, rest deferred -->
<style>/* Critical above-fold CSS */</style>
<link rel="preload" href="/styles.css" as="style" 
      onload="this.onload=null;this.rel='stylesheet'">

3. Slow resource load times

<!-- ❌ No hints, discovered late -->
<img src="/hero.jpg" alt="Hero">

<!-- ✅ Preloaded with high priority -->
<link rel="preload" href="/hero.webp" as="image" fetchpriority="high">
<img src="/hero.webp" alt="Hero" fetchpriority="high">

4. Client-side rendering delays

// ❌ Content loads after JavaScript
useEffect(() => {
  fetch('/api/hero-text').then(r => r.json()).then(setHeroText);
}, []);

// ✅ Server-side or static rendering
// Use SSR, SSG, or streaming to send HTML with content
export async function getServerSideProps() {
  const heroText = await fetchHeroText();
  return { props: { heroText } };
}

LCP optimization checklist

- [ ] TTFB < 800ms (use CDN, edge caching)
- [ ] LCP image preloaded with fetchpriority="high"
- [ ] LCP image optimized (WebP/AVIF, correct size)
- [ ] Critical CSS inlined (< 14KB)
- [ ] No render-blocking JavaScript in <head>
- [ ] Fonts don't block text rendering (font-display: swap)
- [ ] LCP element in initial HTML (not JS-rendered)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
