Page Experience Signals: What Google Actually Measures
Google's page experience signals combine Core Web Vitals with other user experience metrics. Here's what they are and how to optimize for them.
The signals
- Core Web Vitals: LCP (loading), INP (interactivity), CLS (visual stability)
- HTTPS: Secure connection across your entire site
- Mobile-friendliness: Usable on mobile devices
- No intrusive interstitials: Pop-ups that don't block content
How much they matter
Page experience is a ranking factor, but not the most important one. Great content with mediocre page experience will outrank mediocre content with great page experience. But when content quality is similar, page experience becomes the tiebreaker.
