* - Cumulative layout shift (CLS)
- ``synthetics.webvitals_cls.score``
- Measures page stability. CLS is based on a formula that tallies up how many times the components on the page move or “shift” around while the page is loading. Fewer shifts are better.

* - Largest contentful paint (LCP)
- ``synthetics.webvitals_lcp.time.ms``
- Measures page loading times as perceived by users. The LCP metric reports the render time of the largest content element visible within the viewport.

* - Total blocking time (TBT)
- ``synthetics.webvitals_tbt.time.ms``
- Captures issues that affect interactivity. TBT is a synthetic alternative for First Input Delay (INP), which measures page responsiveness to user input. Optimizations that improve TBT in the lab can also help improve INP for your users.
- Captures issues that affect interactivity. TBT is a synthetic alternative for Interaction to Next Paint (INP), which measures page responsiveness to user input. Optimizations that improve TBT in the lab can also help improve INP for your users.
