Performance & Core Web Vitals

These four reports sit in the Analytics section of every property, below the standard Search Console reports. Three of them regroup your Search Console data around the way your site is built (a list of URLs, a sitemap, a folder tree) and one adds real-user speed from Chrome. Each runs only when you press its button, so large sites are not slowed down by heavy queries nobody asked for.

Which report answers which question

How they fit together

A typical investigation moves from broad to narrow. Subdomain & Folder shows that a section lost clicks. Sitemap Performance shows whether the loss sits in one sitemap, such as a product feed, and how many of its URLs get no traffic. Page Performance on that sitemap lists the individual URLs, including those Search Console never reported. From there, URL Inspection tells you whether the silent ones are indexed at all, and Core Web Vitals rules page experience in or out as a cause.

Things they share

• The Search Console reports use the date range, comparison period and filters at the top of the page; the default is the last 28 days against the previous 28.
• URLs from sitemaps and lists are matched to Search Console after ignoring http/https, www., trailing slashes and fragments.
• Sitemaps are downloaded by AutoPSEO-Bot/1.0 and cached for 24 hours; if your server returns 403, allow that user agent.
• Every table can be searched, sorted and exported (exporting), and charts export as PNG.

Search Console only reports pages that appeared in Google results during the period, and its counts follow its own rules for privacy and aggregation (how Search Console counts data), so small differences between these reports and the Performance report in Search Console are expected.
