There’s Still Time to Take Control of Your Core Web Vitals

On April 19th, Google announced a date change for the roll-out of their page experience ranking metrics, Core Web Vitals. What was previously going to launch in May 2021 will now have a rolling launch between mid-June and the end of August, 2021. Luckily, this gives brands more time to prepare their eCommerce sites for the new ranking system. Google notes, “We hope that this adjusted roll-out schedule will help you continue to make refinements to your website with page experience in mind.”

Google also announced that they are launching yet another report in Search Console for Page Experience. While it’s great that they have so many helpful reports, it can quickly become overwhelming. Google already provides 6 different tools with varying capabilities to audit and monitor Core Web Vitals. Luckily, there is an easier way to audit, monitor, diagnose, troubleshoot, and improve them on your eCommerce site – all from one easy-to-use tool.
