Page Experience Report

While Google has delayed the launch of the Page Experience Report, it has elaborated on how the report will be evaluated. The report, scheduled to be launched in mid-June 2021, will help businesses to understand the experience of visitors to your site. It measures the users’ experience interacting with your web page beyond the information that has been provided on the page. There are some parameters included that measure the real-world experience. The report is evaluated per URL and is currently only assessed using a mobile browser. The aim to introduce the report is to help websites create user-friendly web pages.

What are the criteria for Page Experience evaluation in Google Search?

Page Speed Insights

Check the list of metrics that Google page report provides data on-

  1. Core Web Vitals– This includes components like Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS). LCP measures the loading performance of a page. Developers should aim to have LCP occur within 2.5 seconds of the page starting to load. FID is for interactivity, which should be less than 100 milliseconds. CLS measures stability, and maintaining a score of less than 0.1 will result in a good user experience.
  2. Mobile usability– Websites should be mobile-friendly and to establish this you can take a mobile-friendly test for your site.
  3. Safe-browsing– Your page should not contain malicious or deceptive content.
  4. HTTPS– The page should be secured through HTTPS.
  5. Absence of intrusive interstitials– The content available on the webpage should be easily accessible to the visitor.
  6. Ad-Experience– This can affect the whole site, not just a page. This is calculated based on the usage of advertising techniques, which shouldn’t be conducive, interruptive or distracting.
