The only remaining hurdle for a metric to advance beyond the pending phase is to wait out the transition period. Pending metrics are held in this phase for a minimum of six months to give the ecosystem time to adapt. When the Chrome team determines that an experimental metric has received sufficient feedback and proven its efficacy, it becomes a pending metric. It's also the phase in which community feedback is most important. The experimental phase of Core Web Vitals lifecycle is also intended to give flexibility in a metric's development by identifying bugs and even exploring changes to its initial definition. For example, Interaction to Next Paint (INP) was initially developed as an experimental metric to address the runtime performance issues present on the web more comprehensively than First Input Delay (FID). The purpose of the experimental phase is to assess a metric's fitness, first by exploring the problem to be solved, and possibly iterate on what previous metrics may have failed to address. When a metric is initially developed and enters the ecosystem, it is considered an experimental metric.

Stable metrics are the current set of Core Web Vitals that Chrome considers essential for great user experiences.

Pending metrics are future Core Web Vitals that have passed the testing and feedback stage and have a well-defined timeline to becoming stable.

Experimental metrics are prospective Core Web Vitals that may still be undergoing significant changes depending on testing and community feedback.

The table below reflects where all Core Web Vitals currently are in their lifecycle:Įach phase is designed to signal to developers how they should think about each metric: Metrics on the Core Web Vitals track go through a lifecycle consisting of three phases: experimental, pending, and stable. Note: To learn more about the research and methodology behind these recommendations, see: Defining the Core Web Vitals metrics thresholds Lifecycle It meets the recommended targets at the 75th percentile for all of the above Tools that assess Core Web Vitals compliance should consider a page passing if Of page loads, segmented across mobile and desktop devices. orįor each of the above metrics, to ensure you're hitting the recommended targetįor most of your users, a good threshold to measure is the 75th percentile Provide a good user experience, pages should maintain a CLS of 0.1.

Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): measures visual stability.
