Get ready! There\u2019s another big change coming from Google that could impact what you\u2019re doing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new Core Algorithm Update is rolling out in May 2021 and it incorporates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/7-ways-to-speed-up-your-website\/\">page speed<\/a> as a ranking factor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifically, Google will now be looking at three page speed metrics collectively known as Core Web Vitals (CWV). Core Web Vitals will be added to other page experience signals that Google currently uses in their algorithms like mobile-friendliness, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/what-is-a-ssl-certificate\/\">site security (HTTPS)<\/a>, and avoiding excessive pop-ups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below we break down what Core Web Vitals are, how you can track them, and what this update means for your website and organic search in general.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"hgrp\"><h4>You might like&#8230;<\/h4><ul><li><span class=\"prod-icon\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/services\/seo\" data-element-location=\"body.post_content.related_prod_block\" data-element-type=\"button\" data-element-label=\"seo_marketing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SEO-marketing-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SEO-marketing-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SEO-marketing-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SEO-marketing.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/services\/seo\" class=\"hgrp-link\" data-element-location=\"body.post_content.related_prod_block\" data-element-type=\"link\" data-element-label=\"seo_marketing\">SEO Marketing<\/a><\/li><li><span class=\"prod-icon\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/web-hosting\" data-element-location=\"body.post_content.related_prod_block\" data-element-type=\"button\" data-element-label=\"shared_hosting\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shared-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shared-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shared-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shared.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/web-hosting\" class=\"hgrp-link\" data-element-location=\"body.post_content.related_prod_block\" data-element-type=\"link\" data-element-label=\"shared_hosting\">Shared Hosting<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-core-web-vitals\">What are Core Web Vitals?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Core Web Vitals (CWV) are page speed metrics designed to help site owners understand how well their site is performing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are currently three page speed metrics that makeup Core Web Vitals:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Largest Contentful Paint (LCP):<\/strong> The amount of time (measured in seconds) that it takes for the largest element on your site to load. Your LCP should be under 2.5 seconds.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>First Input Delay (FID):<\/strong> The amount of time (measured in milliseconds) that it takes for a page to become interactive. Specifically, it measures the amount of time it takes between a user clicking on your page to when the browser responds. FID should be under 100ms.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS):<\/strong> The amount of unexpected movement your page experiences as it loads. CLS is measured by scoring the page; your score should be less than 0.1.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>For your website <strong>to pass Core Web Vitals as a whole, 75% of the pages or more need to pass <\/strong>Core Web Vitals grading.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-measure-core-web-vitals\">How to Measure Core Web Vitals?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As this algorithm rolls out, more and more tools are likely to include CWV metrics in their reports. However, <strong>Google already provides six completely free ways to measure your Core Web Vitals Scores<\/strong>; the two most accessible for beginners are PageSpeed Insights and Google Search Console.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-measure-core-web-vitals-using-pagespeed-insights\">How to Measure Core Web Vitals using PageSpeed Insights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A browser-based page speed testing tool, <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/speed\/pagespeed\/insights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PageSpeed Insights<\/a>, provides actionable recommendations on how to improve your site speed. They have also more recently started highlighting LCP, FID, CLS, and listing if your page passes or fails Core Web Vitals. To calculate your individual pages\u2019 Core Web Vital scores and see other page speed metrics, simply input your URL and hit <em>Analyze<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/UZB-D-EI7kB-fPBrzs8j64-bcDCyY9evTc6vyZujlt-TRd_xQpXkv_XvkohuhFRi-6Y0AS1KFQmMjNxdqI5nCBUFozKMm-rQXvZgnvLPHIP71_N0dqWsOa6cFHBJB5sjCb4--8U7\" alt=\"core web vitals scores in google pagespeed insights\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>PageSpeed Insights operates on a page-by-page basis, meaning that to get an accurate view of your entire site\u2019s CWV you would have to input each page.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a higher-level overview of your site\u2019s Core Web Vitals standing, take a look at your Google Search Console account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-measure-core-web-vitals-using-google-search-console\">How to Measure Core Web Vitals using Google Search Console<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/search.google.com\/search-console\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Search Console<\/a> (GSC) has also more recently launched a Core Web Vitals report that can be found under 'Enhancements'\u009d &gt; 'Core Web Vitals'\u009d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/WMcMe5LCNNln-a386sx1e14lLAGxYZ9u-wEWsmacrvrhuuewHjIepaR2NLYFI1cIhN9cd4lpkYbFVwDPLKFIlHwtI-9ek28A2sk003mxBu-GKaAKpa0_tgH0ZbRAMNLbGTjzNSSm\" alt=\"find core web vitals in google search console\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This report pulls aggregate data, groups pages that face similar issues, and includes a line graph for historical tracking.

We now know that Google\u2019s goals are to show not only the most relevant result for a search query, but also the fastest. No longer will you be able to rank well if your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/why-page-speed-matters-bloggers\/\">page speed<\/a> and other user experience metrics are lacking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shift to prioritizing user experience along with existing ranking factors like content and backlinks is going to drastically impact the ways that website owners think about SEO. There are additional items on your checklist that you need to tick off if you want to rank on the first page of Google for your target queries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a new algorithm update can certainly feel overwhelming, there are still several months before Core Web Vitals rolls out, so there is plenty of time to address any page speed issues you may have.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have a developer and need to make changes to your website to pass Core Web Vitals, reach out to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/services\/seo\">SEO experts<\/a>!
