# Core Web Vitals for SvelteKit

Field-data LCP, CLS, and INP tracking with regression alerts.

## Why this concern is different on SvelteKit

SvelteKit's hydration model keeps INP low by default, but +page.server.ts load functions that pull large payloads hurt LCP. The measurement most teams miss is the streamed HTML delay.

## Signals to watch

- LCP regression after adding a slow API call to a shared +layout.server.ts
- CLS from element sizes computed post-hydration in Svelte transitions
- INP jumps on routes with heavy $state runes graphs

## What we check (universal)

- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) — 75th percentile, tracked hourly
- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) — with the specific shifting element flagged
- Interaction to Next Paint (INP) — replaces FID for 2026 rankings
- Alerts fire when the 7-day rolling baseline degrades by >20%

## How Lemwatch helps on SvelteKit

Route-level CWV data with the load-function timing overlaid, so slow loaders get spotted before they hit p75 rankings.
