Core Web Vitals & AI Performance
Pass Core Web Vitals. Get cited by AI.
Performance and structure work so Google measures your site as fast for real users, and AI assistants — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini — can actually cite you.
Overview
Search isn't just Google anymore. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini answer the questions your customers used to type into search bars — and they cite the sites that are fast, well-structured, and machine-readable.
I audit your live pages with real device data (not just Lighthouse), find the specific reasons LCP, INP, or CLS are failing, and fix them one at a time — images, fonts, third-party scripts, layout shifts, hydration cost.
Then I layer on the structured data, semantic HTML, and clean content patterns that LLM crawlers reward, and verify everything in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools so your fixes actually show up in the index.
What you get
Concrete deliverables.
No vague scope. Every engagement ships with the same list of things, every time.
- Baseline CrUX + Lighthouse audit
- Prioritized fix list, ranked by user impact
- Image, font & asset optimization
- Third-party script cleanup
- Layout shift elimination
- Schema.org structured data per page
- Search Console + Bing verification
- Post-fix Lighthouse + field-data report
Process
How it works.
Audit
Real-user + lab data pulled for every important template, plus a content audit through the lens of LLM crawlers.
Optimize
Image, JS, and CSS tuning to clear Core Web Vitals thresholds with margin to spare.
Structure
Schema, semantic HTML, and content patterns that let AI assistants pull and cite your pages cleanly.
Verify
Search Console + Bing verified, sitemap submitted, and a 30-day check to confirm indexation and scores hold.
Outcomes
The numbers.

What exactly are Core Web Vitals?
Google's three real-user metrics: Largest Contentful Paint (loading), Interaction to Next Paint (responsiveness), and Cumulative Layout Shift (visual stability).
How do you optimize for Core Web Vitals?
The order matters: audit real-user (CrUX) data first, then tackle the top LCP element (usually an image or font), then eliminate layout shifts, then trim the JS blocking interaction. Guessing at fixes usually makes things worse.
Can you really get me into ChatGPT's answers?
We can't guarantee specific citations, but we structure your content the way LLMs prefer — and clients regularly show up in AI overviews as a result.
Does this apply to my existing site?
Yes. We can audit any site and produce a prioritized fix list, even if we didn't build it.
