What is the Page Experience report in Google Search Console?

Q: What is the Page Experience report in Google Search Console?

It summarised Core Web Vitals, HTTPS and, until 2023, mobile usability. Google removed it in November 2024; the Core Web Vitals and HTTPS reports remain.

It was a summary page that combined Core Web Vitals, HTTPS and, until December 2023, mobile usability into one view of how many URLs offered a good experience. Google removed it from Search Console in November 2024. The two reports it drew on, Core Web Vitals and HTTPS, are still there, and Google now explains page experience through written guidance and self-assessment questions rather than a single score.

What happened to it

In April 2023 Google said the report would turn into a page linking to its page experience guidance, with the Core Web Vitals and HTTPS reports staying in Search Console. The Mobile Usability report it used to include was retired on 1 December 2023. In November 2024 Google removed the page itself (Search Engine Journal's report quotes the announcement), and today's list of Search Console reports no longer has it.

What to look at instead

Core Web Vitals report: real-user data from the Chrome UX Report, split into mobile and desktop and grouped into similar URLs. A URL's status is set by its worst metric.
HTTPS report: whether your indexed pages are served over HTTPS.
Lighthouse and URL Inspection for mobile layout problems, now that the Mobile Usability report is gone (mobile usability).

Metric	Good	Need improvement	Poor
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)	up to 2.5 s	up to 4 s	over 4 s
Interaction to Next Paint (INP)	up to 200 ms	up to 500 ms	over 500 ms
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)	up to 0.1	up to 0.25	over 0.25

Thresholds from Google's Core Web Vitals report help. More on the metrics in LCP, INP and CLS.

How Google treats page experience now

Google's page experience guidance makes three points:

There is no single page experience signal. Google's core ranking systems look at a range of signals, and Core Web Vitals are among those they use.
Good results don't guarantee top rankings, and highly relevant content can still rank with a poor experience.
Its self-assessment asks whether your pages have good Core Web Vitals, are served securely, display well on mobile, avoid excessive ads and intrusive interstitials, and make the main content easy to tell apart.

A quick page experience check without the report

Open the Core Web Vitals report for mobile and desktop and note the groups marked poor.
Check the HTTPS report for pages still served over plain HTTP.
Run Lighthouse on a page from each template, on mobile.
Look at your top landing pages on a phone yourself for pop-ups or ads covering the content.

How AutoPSEO helps

AutoPSEO's Core Web Vitals report queries the Chrome UX Report's history for your origin or a single URL, so you see about 25 weekly data points for phones and desktops separately, rather than only the current status. The site audit in its research tools also runs Lighthouse on a sample of your templates in mobile and desktop modes.
