What does the page experience update mean for your business and website?
The Core Web Vitals are a set of user centric metrics Google will use to measure and quantify page experience. The metrics are meant to indicate how users experience a page. Optimizing them will help you to create a better user experience. #siteimprove
Google rewards websites that are user friendly and provide top quality, relevant content throughout all pages with higher rankings. Page experience is already a part of SEO strategy. Things to look for as flags, pages with high bounce rates and start with those pages first.
The five main factors that Google prioritizes for a website page experience are:
Core Web Vitals
Mobile Friendliness
Safe Browsing
HTTPS
Intrusive interstitial content (minimize) – pop ups / pop up ads / banners/ overlays (interstitials)
Content vs Page Experience
Having the right high quality content still is the best way to get good rankings. Page experience is not replacing content but they must work together. If you want well with great content but the page experience is not so great, then you lose. Both have to work together.
