If speed was ever a major factor in ranking - the search results would be dominated by pages without trackers/ads/etc. Google would never do that.

Google announced back in May that Core Web Vitals would become ranking factors next year, and more recently they recently announced that this would happen in May 2021 (a year after the first warning)

Largest Contentful Paint is something I don't get at all. How is this helping overall performance? A fast and light site typically does well on this metric, but a site that does well on this metric isn't necessarily fast and light.
