These signals measure how users perceive the experience of interacting with a web page and contribute to our ongoing work to ensure people get the most helpful and enjoyable experiences from the web.

The first step is doing a site-wide audit of your pages to see where there is room for improvement. Search Console’s <a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9205520">report</a> for Core Web Vitals gives you an overview of how your site is doing and a deepdive into issues. Once you’ve identified opportunities, <a href="https://web.dev/vitals-tools/#pagespeed-insights">Page Speed Insights</a> and <a href="https://web.dev/vitals-tools/#lighthouse">Lighthouse</a> can help you as you iterate on fixing any issues that you’ve uncovered. Head over to <a href="https://web.dev/vitals-tools/">web.dev/vitals-tools</a> for a roundup of all the tools you need to get started. </p> <p> Additionally, AMP is <a href="https://blog.amp.dev/2020/11/10/create-great-page-experiences-with-amp/">one of the easiest and cost-effective ways</a> for publishers looking to achieve great page experience outcomes. Based on the <a href="https://blog.amp.dev/2020/10/13/meet-amps-page-experience-guide/">analysis</a> that the AMP team has done, the majority of the AMP pages achieve great page experiences. If you’re an AMP publisher, check out the recently launched <a href="http://amp.dev/page-experience">AMP Page Experience Guide</a>, a diagnostic tool that provides developers with actionable advice. </p> <p> We continue to support AMP content in Google Search. If you publish an AMP version of your content, Google Search will link to that cache-optimized AMP version to help optimize delivery to users, just as is the case today. </p> <h2>Conclusion</h2> <p> At Google Search our mission is to help users find the most relevant and quality sites on the web. The goal with these updates is to highlight the best experiences and ensure that users can find the information they’re looking for. Our work is ongoing, which is why we plan to incorporate more page experience signals going forward and update them on a yearly basis.
