Google Page Experience Ranking Factor Updated: June 2024 CrUX Data Shows Performance Gains

Google has updated its Page Experience Ranking Factor with the release of a new Core Web Vitals dataset. The June 2024 Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) shows big improvements in website performance scores. This reflects good changes in how websites perform. These improvements in how we measure Interaction To Next Paint (INP), are great news for websites that use dialog modals (popups).

Understanding the CrUX Dataset

The CrUX dataset has real-world Core Web Vitals (CWV) scores. Chrome browsers measure these during website visits. This info comes from browsers that people choose to share data from. Anyone can see this data, and tools like PageSpeed Insights use it. It’s a key way for website owners to check how well their sites work. They can also see how their rivals are doing. These scores have a big impact on the Page Experience Ranking Factor.

How CrUX Affects Page Experience

CrUX data has a big impact on Google’s Page Experience Ranking Factor. Google says CrUX data is open to everyone through different Google and other tools. It’s a key part of how Google looks at page experience. The effect on ranking might be small, but making CWV scores better is important to get more conversions and ad clicks

What’s New in the June 2024 Dataset

The June 2024 CrUX dataset shows small improvements in all Core Web Vitals metrics. This means websites are still trying to get better. Big website builders like WordPress are getting much better with each update. Here are the main things to look at:

Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)

• Checks how the main stuff on a page shows up looking at the biggest picture or content chunk you can see on your screen.
• June 2024 Performance: 63.4% (↑ 2.0%) had a good LCP.

Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)

• Look at how steady a web page stays making sure things don’t bounce around or move .
• June 2024 Performance: 77.8% (↑ 0.5%) had a good CLS.

Interaction to Next Paint (INP)

• Shows how fast a web page responds when you interact with it.
• June 2024 Performance: 84.1% (↑ 1.1%) got good INP scores.

Overall CWV Performance

• The number of websites that pass all three Core Web Vitals tests.
• June 2024 Performance: 51.0% (↑ 2.3%) scored well in LCP, CLS, and INP.

Changes to INP Measurements

The Chrome team has made some changes to how they measure Interaction to Next Paint (INP), which has led to better evaluations. They’ve been working hard to make things run smoother when it comes to handling simple pop-up windows (like alerts, confirms, and print screens). Before, these pop-ups weren’t counted when calculating INP, but now they are. This has caused INP scores to go up for websites that use these pop-ups a lot.

Conclusion

The latest CrUX stats for June 2024 show how vital it is to keep making websites better. All Core Web Vitals scores went up, which means site owners can expect to see better page experiences, higher rankings, and more people using their sites. To stay ahead online, it’s key to keep an eye on these numbers and make changes when needed. This will help websites do well in the ever-changing internet world.
