Searchmetrics crawled over 2 million URLs, crunched the numbers, and performed correlation analysis across the top 20 organic Google search positions to get a sense of how websites were performing before the Google Core Web Vitals Update. As well as the 3 Core Web Vitals, they looked at 12 additional related ranking signals to offer deeper insights into what websites are doing well.
The study includes real best and worst-case examples plus highlights many areas where websites could benefit from healthy speed gains and UX improvements. When using the information in this study, SEOs, UX designers and web developers can understand, with facts, what Core Web Vitals is about and what it means for the websites they manage.
