Google’s Core Web Vitals are now confirmed ranking signals — stores that pass LCP, CLS, and INP requirements rank higher than those that do not. Most Shopify themes fail one or more Core Web Vitals out of the box. Granivio is built specifically to pass all three metrics and maintain strong Page Experience scores.
What Are Core Web Vitals and Why Do They Matter
- LCP (Largest Contentful Paint): How fast the main content of the page loads. Target: under 2.5 seconds. Most often the hero image or main product image.
- CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift): How much the page shifts visually as it loads. Target: under 0.1. Caused by images without dimensions, fonts swapping, or ads injected after load.
- INP (Interaction to Next Paint): How quickly the page responds to user interactions like taps and clicks. Target: under 200ms. Replaced FID in March 2024.
How Granivio Passes Core Web Vitals
- LCP: Hero images are preloaded and served via Shopify’s CDN — minimising time to first render of the main content.
- CLS: All images in Granivio have explicit width and height attributes — preventing layout shifts as images load. Font loading is handled to prevent FOUT/FOIT shifts.
- INP: Granivio’s minimal JavaScript means the main thread stays available for user interactions — tap responses are fast and consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Granivio free to try on Shopify?
Yes. Visit the Granivio page and click “Try theme.”
Will adding apps break my Core Web Vitals?
Potentially yes. Every app that adds JavaScript to your storefront risks impacting INP and LCP. Test your Core Web Vitals scores before and after installing any new app using Google PageSpeed Insights or Chrome’s CrUX data.
How do I check my Shopify store’s Core Web Vitals?
Use Google PageSpeed Insights (pagespeed.web.dev) for both lab data and real-world field data. Google Search Console also shows Core Web Vitals data for your site under the “Experience” section — this shows real user data from Chrome browsers.
