How Can Core Web Vitals Affect Search Rankings?
Google is strongly encouraging all website owners to track and improve Core Web Vitals to provide a better web experience for users. These metrics measure site speed and efficiency and have become the new ranking factor for page experience in Google’s search algorithm. Simply stated, Google is rewarding sites that offer a good visual and interactive experience for users.
But this update is about more than page speed and user experience. Since SEO involves optimizing for Google’s ranking factors, website owners who don’t address Core Web Vitals can experience a decrease in traffic and content consumption, a reduction in brand visibility, and a drop in sales. Moreover, when users have to wait before they’re able to click, scroll or interact, it can negatively affect conversion rates, lead generation, and ultimately business growth.
