With Google’s ever-evolving standards, mastering these metrics is not just nice-to-have, it’s crucial for every developer aiming for peak site performance.

Welcome to the second session of Vitality: A 5-Part Webinar Series Decoding Core Web Vitals, hosted by Kyle Van Deusen with expert guest Brian Jackson from Perfmatters.
