Google is removing the Page Experience report from Search Console to simplify the reporting interface.
Core Web Vitals (CWV) and HTTPS monitoring capabilities will remain available through their individual reports. This change aims to improve navigation within Search Console by eliminating the bundled Page Experience report, while still giving users access to key performance indicators via separate CWV and HTTPS data reports.
Google had the following to say:
Core web vitals reporting continues
The Core Web Vitals report will continue to offer performance data, including key metrics such as:
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
- Interaction to Next Paint (INP)
These metrics reflect real-world user experiences and categorise results as “Poor,” “Needs Improvement,” or “Good.” The report provides separate views for mobile and desktop performance, enabling site administrators to monitor user experience across different devices.
HTTPS security monitoring
The standalone HTTPS report will still track the security status of indexed URLs to ensure your site meets Google’s security standards. It identifies specific issues like:
- Invalid SSL certificates
- HTTP/HTTPS canonical conflicts
- Sitemap configuration issues
- Redirect chain problems
SEO monitoring impact
Although Google is retiring the integrated Page Experience dashboard, it maintains that page experience remains essential for site owners. Monitoring key indicators will continue through dedicated reports, providing detailed insights for optimisation. This change underscores Google’s efforts to refine the Search Console interface while ensuring access to essential performance and security metrics that influence search rankings and user experience.
