Google’s Page Experience Update and Core Web Vitals
Introduction:
Page experience is one of the key factors for Google to provide the best possible user experience. In addition to content quality and relevance, page experience signals are crucial for boosting page rankings. Builtvisible’s article delves into the importance of page experience and how Google measures page load speed, responsiveness, and visual stability through Core Web Vitals. Starting in March 2024, First Input Delay (FID) will be replaced by a new metric, “Interaction to Next Paint” (INP), to better measure page responsiveness.
