Is core web vitals a ranking factor?

Core Web Vitals are a set of metrics that measure the loading performance, interactivity and visual stability of a webpage. These metrics are considered to be important for providing a good user experience and are based on real-world user data. Google has announced that Core Web Vitals will be used as a ranking factor in its search engine starting May 2021. It means that webpages that score well on Core Web Vitals will have an advantage in terms of search engine ranking, as they are more likely to provide a good user experience. However, it is worth noting that Core Web Vitals is just one of many factors that Google uses to determine search engine rankings and having good scores on these metrics alone may not be enough to improve your rankings.
