How to use the Web Vitals module?

Google Core Web Vitals provide measures to improve site performance. For more background check out our useful blog post.

Any initiatives that improve user experience can only be a good thing. But measuring and improving site performance can feel like a daunting and complex endeavor. This is why we provided a dedicated Web Vitals module found within the Overview Report, accessed via the reports section in our Engage Dashboard.

The module can be used to observe your site-wide CLS score and Outbrain’s specific impact upon it (based on Outbrain sampled data). The module also contains both desktop & mobile views (scores can differ by platform) and enables you to use data to identify any CLS score issues. 

Your site wide Web Vitals scores can also be accessed by clicking on – more insights. Within this view your site wide FID, CLS & LCP scores based on Google collected data can be seen. Useful tool tips explaining the Google approved score benchmarks are also provided.

If using the Web Vitals module you identify Outbrain is having a meaningful negative impact on your CLS scores, please reach out to your Outbrain point of contact who will be able to help address.
