It marks the time at which the first text or image is loaded into view, and measures how long it takes a browser to render the first element on the page.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Speed Index:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Measures how quickly the contents are visibly loaded, and the visual progression of the page load.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Largest Contentful Paint:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Reports the render time of the largest content element in the viewport.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Time to Interactive:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> How long until a page is fully interactive, meaning it displays content and event handlers are in place for visible elements.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Total Blocking Time:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sum of time between your first contentful paint and time to interactive.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Cumulative Layout Shift:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Measures how often a layout change happens as new content is loaded to the page.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>What&#8217;s Changing in Version 6?<\/b><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The metrics themselves, and the weight of those metrics, will change with the move from Version 5 to Version 6 of Lighthouse.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifically, Version 6 introduces <\/span><b>Largest Contentful Paint, Total Blocking Time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;and <\/span><b>Cumulative Layout Shift<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These new Lighthouse metrics mark a shift in prioritizing user experience concerns rather than speed for speed&#8217;s sake.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Users are often frustrated by <\/span><b>Layout Shift,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which occurs when elements are added to a web page unexpectedly. One example of this is <\/span>lazy loaded images that aren&#8217;t properly spaced.\n\nThis experience is one of the reasons Mediavine integrated support for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/create-jump-to-recipe-is-here\/\">Jump to Recipe buttons<\/a> into our Script Wrapper.\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip: You can improve Largest Contentful Paint scores by avoiding adding large images to the first viewport of your site.<\/span>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8740 size-mv_create_no_ratio\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/coding-computing-735x490.png\" alt=\"man's hands typing on a laptop \" width=\"735\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/coding-computing-735x490.png 735w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/coding-computing-441x294.png 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/coding-computing-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/coding-computing-690x460.png 690w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/coding-computing.png 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\n<h2><b>What Do Lighthouse Changes Mean For Me?<\/b><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we mentioned briefly above, PSI has been using Lighthouse 5 metrics for the last year or so but soon will start using Version 6.<\/span>\n\nIt&#8217;s not clear exactly when the updated Lighthouse will be integrated with PSI; Google will make that transition when it&#8217;s ready.\n\nAccording to the official Lighthouse Twitter, and other sources close to the product, we can expect it to be in effect by the end of May.\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In any case, Lighthouse 6 will alter the way scores are calculated, while introducing new metrics for quantifying page performance.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with any update, there will likely be minor changes in your pagespeed score, hopefully for the better. In any case, don&#8217;t panic.\n<\/span>\n\nThe easiest and most effective way to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/mediavines-pagespeed-resources\/\">improve pagespeed<\/a> is to remove plugins that aren\u2019t providing value for your site and users.\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s also worth noting (shameless plug alert) that some of our initial Trellis test sites have seen an upward bump in their scores.<\/span>\n\nAs always, stay tuned to our blog and social channels for more on Trellis, and email us with any pagespeed related questions.<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0\">\r\n<div
