By adding page experience to the hundreds of signals that Google considers when ranking search results, we aim to help people more easily access the information and web pages they’re looking for, and support site owners in providing an experience users enjoy.<br /> <br /> For some developers, understanding how their sites measure on the Core Web Vitals—and addressing noted issues—will require some work. To help out, we’ve <a href="http://web.dev/vitals-tools">updated</a> popular developer tools such as Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights to surface Core Web Vitals information and recommendations, and Google Search Console provides a dedicated <a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9205520">report</a> to help site owners quickly identify opportunities for improvement. We’re also working with external tool developers to bring Core Web Vitals into their offerings.<br /> <br /> While all of the components of page experience are important, we will prioritize pages with the best information overall, even if some aspects of page experience are subpar. A good page experience doesn’t override having great, relevant content. However, in cases where there are multiple pages that have similar content, page experience becomes much more important for visibility in Search. <br /> <br /> <div> <h3> Page experience and the mobile Top Stories feature </h3> <br /> The mobile Top Stories feature is a premier fresh content experience in Search that currently emphasizes AMP results, which have been optimized to exhibit a good page experience. Over the past several years, Top Stories has <a href="https://blog.amp.dev/2018/03/08/standardizing-lessons-learned-from-amp/">inspired</a> new thinking about the ways we could promote better page experiences across the web. <br /> <br /> When we roll out the page experience ranking update, we will also update the eligibility criteria for the Top Stories experience. AMP will no longer be necessary for stories to be featured in Top Stories on mobile; it will be open to any page. Alongside this change, page experience will become a ranking factor in Top Stories, in addition to the many factors assessed. As before, pages must meet the <a href="https://support.google.com/news/publisher-center/answer/6204050">Google News content policies</a> to be eligible. Site owners who currently publish pages as AMP, or with an AMP version, will see no change in behavior – the AMP version will be what’s linked from Top Stories. </div> <div> <br /> <h3> Summary </h3> <br /> We believe user engagement will improve as experiences on the web get better -- and that by incorporating these new signals into Search, we'll help make the web better for everyone. We hope that sharing our roadmap for the page experience updates and launching supporting tools ahead of time will help the diverse ecosystem of web creators, developers, and businesses to improve and deliver more delightful user experiences. </div> <div> <br /> Please stay tuned for our future updates that will communicate more specific guidance on the timing for these changes to come into effect.

One of the more frequent themes among these questions are links and especially those generated through JavaScript. </p> <p> In our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKoqnv2vTMUNf6w9wUu7RgxHkaTrq2Zpf">Webmaster Conference Lightning Talks</a> video series, we recently addressed the most frequently asked questions on Links and JavaScript: </p> <p> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4vtVUBzw9Rs" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> </p> <p>Note: This video has subtitles in many languages available, too.</p> <p> During the live premiere, we also had a Q&A session with a few additional questions from the community and decided to publish those questions and our answers along with some other frequently asked questions around the topic of links and JavaScript. </p> <h2>What kinds of links can Googlebot discover?</h2> <p> Googlebot parses the HTML of a page, looking for links to discover the URLs of related pages to crawl. To discover these pages, you need to make your links actual HTML links, as described in the <a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9112205">webmaster guidelines on links</a>. </p> <h2>What kind of URLs are okay for Googlebot?</h2> <p> Googlebot extracts the URLs from the href attribute of your links and then enqueues them for crawling. This means that the URL needs to be resolvable or simply put: The URL should work when put into the address bar of a browser. See the <a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9112205">webmaster guidelines on links</a> for more information. </p> <h2>Is it okay to use JavaScript to create and inject links?</h2> <p> As long as these links fulfill the criteria as per our <a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9112205">webmaster guidelines</a> and outlined above, yes. </p> <p> When Googlebot renders a page, it executes JavaScript and then discovers the links generated from JavaScript, too. It's worth mentioning that link discovery can happen twice: Before <em>and</em> after JavaScript executed, so having your links in the initial server response allows Googlebot to discover your links a bit faster. </p> <h2>Does Googlebot understand fragment URLs?</h2> <p> Fragment URLs, also known as "hash URLs", are technically fine, but might not work the way you expect with Googlebot. </p> <p> Fragments are supposed to be used to address a piece of content within the page and when used for this purpose, fragments are absolutely fine. </p> <p> Sometimes developers decide to <strong>use fragments with JavaScript to load different content</strong> than what is on the page without the fragment. That is not what fragments are meant for and won't work with Googlebot. See <a href="https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/javascript-seo-basics#use-history-api">the JavaScript SEO guide</a> on how the History API can be used instead. </p> <h2>Does Googlebot still use the AJAX crawling scheme?</h2> <p> The <a href="https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2015/10/deprecating-our-ajax-crawling-scheme.html">AJAX crawling scheme has long been deprecated</a>.

One of the more frequent themes among these questions are links and especially those generated through JavaScript. </p> <p> In our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKoqnv2vTMUNf6w9wUu7RgxHkaTrq2Zpf">Webmaster Conference Lightning Talks</a> video series, we recently addressed the most frequently asked questions on Links and JavaScript: </p> <p> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4vtVUBzw9Rs" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> </p> <p>Note: This video has subtitles in many languages available, too.</p> <p> During the live premiere, we also had a Q&A session with a few additional questions from the community and decided to publish those questions and our answers along with some other frequently asked questions around the topic of links and JavaScript. </p> <h2>What kinds of links can Googlebot discover?</h2> <p> Googlebot parses the HTML of a page, looking for links to discover the URLs of related pages to crawl. To discover these pages, you need to make your links actual HTML links, as described in the <a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9112205">webmaster guidelines on links</a>. </p> <h2>What kind of URLs are okay for Googlebot?</h2> <p> Googlebot extracts the URLs from the href attribute of your links and then enqueues them for crawling. This means that the URL needs to be resolvable or simply put: The URL should work when put into the address bar of a browser. See the <a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9112205">webmaster guidelines on links</a> for more information. </p> <h2>Is it okay to use JavaScript to create and inject links?</h2> <p> As long as these links fulfill the criteria as per our <a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9112205">webmaster guidelines</a> and outlined above, yes. </p> <p> When Googlebot renders a page, it executes JavaScript and then discovers the links generated from JavaScript, too. It's worth mentioning that link discovery can happen twice: Before <em>and</em> after JavaScript executed, so having your links in the initial server response allows Googlebot to discover your links a bit faster. </p> <h2>Does Googlebot understand fragment URLs?</h2> <p> Fragment URLs, also known as "hash URLs", are technically fine, but might not work the way you expect with Googlebot. </p> <p> Fragments are supposed to be used to address a piece of content within the page and when used for this purpose, fragments are absolutely fine. </p> <p> Sometimes developers decide to <strong>use fragments with JavaScript to load different content</strong> than what is on the page without the fragment. That is not what fragments are meant for and won't work with Googlebot. See <a href="https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/javascript-seo-basics#use-history-api">the JavaScript SEO guide</a> on how the History API can be used instead. </p> <h2>Does Googlebot still use the AJAX crawling scheme?</h2> <p> The <a href="https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2015/10/deprecating-our-ajax-crawling-scheme.html">AJAX crawling scheme has long been deprecated</a>. Do not rely on it for your pages. </p> <p> The recommendation for this is to use the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/API/History">History API</a> and migrate your web apps to URLs that do not rely on fragments to load different content. </p> <h2>Stay tuned for more Webmaster Conference Lightning Talks</h2> <p> This post was inspired by the first installment of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKoqnv2vTMUNf6w9wUu7RgxHkaTrq2Zpf">Webmaster Conference Lightning Talks</a>, but make sure to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/googlewebmasters?sub_confirmation=1">subscribe to our YouTube channel</a> for more videos to come!
