What PageSpeed score should my website achieve?

A Lighthouse score of 90 or higher is considered good and signals green values across the essential metrics. However, the score is only a weighted summary of several lab values and can vary from one measurement to the next. More important are the individual Core Web Vitals: LCP below 2.5 seconds, INP below 200 milliseconds, CLS below 0.1. These thresholds decide whether Google considers your page fast.

We explicitly warn against treating the score as an end in itself. A page with a score of 85 and excellent field data is in better shape than one scoring 98 whose real visitors wait on slow mobile devices. Our goal is therefore always a stable green range in the field data, with the Lighthouse score following almost automatically. In the initial consultation we put your current score into realistic perspective.
