The Core Web Vitals are a set of three metrics designed to measure the “core” experience of whether a website feels fast or slow to the users, and so gives a good experience. So you may well notice your field data on mobile is better than testing with this suggests (there are some discussions on changing the Lighthouse mobile settings ).

A year after the first web servers became available, how many companies had websites or were experimenting with building them? That pricing won’t be sustainable, particularly as hardware shortages drive up the cost of building infrastructure. Certainly not two-thirds of them. We expect search to be everywhere.
