What have we lost with Page Experience in Search Console?
Posted: Tue Jan 07, 2025 9:50 am
Google, as a provider of online services and devices, has a long history of projects that were released to the public and then, after a number of years, were eliminated. Some experiments have gone down in history as big mistakes, while other times the changes have been positive.
This time, for example, by reading the announcement on the Google Search Central account on LinkedIn, it is made clear that the abandonment of the Page Experience was the result of a reflection to " reduce unnecessary clutter within the Search Console and simplify navigation to reach this information ". Added to this is the netherlands phone number encouragement , this is the term used in the post, to focus " on providing a good experience on the page to readers and to monitor the state of the experience of the pages of the websites within the CWV reports and HTTPS reports ".
This is because the data has not actually been eliminated. The Page Experience was used in practice only to collect in a single screen what is still achievable and quantifiable by looking at the Core Web Vitals and other evaluation tools provided by Google.
Those who complain that this choice is not the right one point out that it was a convenience to be able to have all the information at hand. Added to this are those who declare that instead by removing the Page Experience there is now a need to have third-party tools to know for example the realistic loading times and the user experience on the page.

Finally, and this is an interesting angle to look at the announcement from, there is a user who asks how the removal of Page Experience and the reporting it produced might affect the way website owners view the priorities between user experience and technical performance.
What was probably supposed to be just a small message has now turned into a series of comments and food for thought for everyone. The reality is that the report at the beginning of the section is no longer available. So let's try to understand how to navigate the sections dedicated to Core Web Vitals and HTTPS signals.
