Core Web Vitals explained, in plain English.

Yes, they are a confirmed Google ranking signal as part of the page experience update.

• Foundation phases cover Core Web Vitals, PageSpeed, meta tags, heading structure, and crawlability, the technical baseline that affects how search engines access and understand your site.
• Content, Trust, and Compliance phases cover content quality, E-E-A-T signals, conversion effectiveness, schema markup, local SEO, ADA accessibility, and AI readiness, over 1,000 distinct data points total.

Under 2.5s LCP, under 200ms INP, under 0.1 CLS.

• Rule-based tools flag issues based on fixed criteria, missing meta descriptions, images without alt text. These checks are useful but they do not require understanding your content. Any tool can do them.
• Our AI reads your content semantically, it understands what your pages are about, who they are written for, and what is missing. That analysis produces recommendations unique to your business that you will not see in a templated report.

Retired in March 2024 and replaced by INP. INP is a better metric because it measures the entire page lifetime.

• All reports stay branded SchemaReports (gray label). Agencies get the GoHighLevel integration that auto-creates contacts with audit data in custom values, the value flows into your CRM, not a fake-branded PDF.
• Agency plan also includes an embeddable audit widget you can add to your own website, plus client seat management so clients can log in and view their reports directly without contacting you.

TBT is a lab metric (measured during development). INP is a field metric (measured from real users). Google ranks on field metrics.

• Every audit can be downloaded as a formatted PDF for client presentations, as Markdown for documentation or CMS publishing, or as JSON for importing data into dashboards, CRMs, or custom tools.
• Agency plan users can also access reports programmatically via the full API, pull audit data into your reporting stack without manual downloads.

Lighthouse runs a lab version of the check. SchemaReports runs the live version. Both are useful, live is more accurate.

• All paid plans include a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not satisfied within the first 30 days, you receive a full refund, no questions, no contract obligations.
• Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time. There are no long-term contracts. Access continues through the end of your current billing period after cancellation.

• A public API is on the roadmap. Today every audit exports as PDF, Markdown, and JSON on every plan for manual integration.
• API documentation is available after account creation. Use it to run audits programmatically, retrieve structured results, and integrate SchemaReports data into your client reporting stack.
