The New Interface of Page Experience Report on GSC

Recently, Google Search Console underwent a significant overhaul in the Page Experience report interface. The recent update marks a significant step for Google in enhancing the user experience related to obtaining data from their websites.

Comparison of Old and New Interface

In its new display, the Page Experience report has been simplified, presenting basic information without additional data as before. Although some users may perceive it as a trimming down, these changes are designed to focus on key aspects of the page experience.

 

Here is the new view of the Page Experience report on Google Search Console.

 

 

Previously, here is how the Page Experience report was displayed in Search Console:

 

 

One of the main pieces of information reported in this overhaul is the two crucial aspects of Page Experience: Core Web Vitals and the security protocol HTTPS.

Core Web Vitals monitor website performance by considering factors such as page loading speed, stability, and interactivity. Meanwhile, HTTPS can be a security assurance factor for website visitors.

While Google highlights these two aspects, they also emphasize that Page Experience is not only evaluated based on Core Web Vitals and HTTPS. There are other elements considered in determining the overall user experience.

On the same page, Google provides notes on Page Experience factors that should also be taken into account.

 

 

These changes can impact how website owners monitor and improve user experience on their sites. Although Google emphasizes the importance of Core Web Vitals and HTTPS, website owners are advised to pay attention to other aspects that may affect the overall Page Experience.

Additionally, in Google's documentation, it is reported that some elements will be removed from the Search Console, such as Mobile Usability reports. This is because users can access more information on this through other tools like Lighthouse.

 

 

The changes in this display are considered to have no significant impact, and users expect Google to focus more on its algorithms. Here is the discussion response from the Google Search Central Twitter status regarding this design change.

 

 

Will Google ultimately prioritize user feedback? Let's wait for further news.
