Remember to keep tabs on the #CoreWebVitals / #WebVitals evolution in #Chrome and let them guide you to a better more performant web site: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/speed/metrics_changelog/README.md

And also remember to collect these metrics yourself from all of your users and to keep track of how other browsers implement these and when other browsers add support for more of these.

Eg. the #CumulativeLayoutShift one is far from being implemented #CrossBrowser, see eg: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/386
