Core Web Vitals are a set of metrics that help evaluate how a website feels when someone visits it: whether it loads quickly, responds smoothly and keeps a stable visual composition while the page is being used.
Why they matter in cultural projects
On a cultural website, slowness does not only affect SEO. It also affects reading, institutional perception and the possibility that someone reaches an exhibition, artwork, agenda item or contact request.
When a page takes too long to load, shifts elements or responds slowly, the visitor loses context. This is especially sensitive on websites with images, archives, catalogues, publications or extensive curatorial content.
What should be reviewed
Optimisation should not be limited to image compression. Critical loading, script weight, HTML structure, fonts, resource order and visual stability should also be reviewed.
A more human SEO perspective
Improving Core Web Vitals is not about chasing an abstract score. It is about reducing friction, making reading easier and ensuring the website is quickly available to people searching for cultural, institutional or commercial information.
Recommended priorities
Start with the most important pages: home, services, contact, agenda, artists, exhibitions, artwork pages and editorial content with SEO potential. Optimising these areas first usually has more impact than trying to fix the entire website without hierarchy.
