Checklist: fixing Core Web Vitals on a builder-heavy page

Checklist: fixing Core Web Vitals on a builder-heavy page

Work the metrics in order, not randomly.
— LCP: find the hero element, preload its image, and stop the builder from lazy-loading above-the-fold media.
— CLS: set explicit width/height on all builder image widgets; reserve space for embeds.
— INP: audit builder animations/sticky-header JS — disable scroll effects you don't need.
— Defer the builder's non-critical CSS; inline only what renders the first viewport.

Pros:
— Targets the exact metric Google flags.
— Most fixes are toggles, not rebuilds.

Cons:
— Builder-injected inline styles limit how far you can push.
— Some animation JS can't be cleanly deferred.

Best for: pages stuck in the "needs improvement" band where the builder is the bottleneck.
