Improve Your Site With A Real-time Core Web Vitals View
Lindsy Farina and Ryan Hoover
Google's Core Web Vitals provides unified guidance for website performance related to user experience, and will redefine how websites are measured. This summer, Google will begin to use Core Web Vitals as a new signal that will impact how sites are ranked on Google search. New Relic's browser, available on WP Engine, gives users a real world view of your actual score, and gives you peace of mind that you’ll be in control of how Google is scoring your website user experience and users’ ability to find your site on the Internet. In 2021, WP Engine’s own Web Marketing team undertook the major project of understanding and achieving >90% scores across the board in Google’s CWV scoring system. Ryan Hoover from WP Engine and Lindsy Farina from New Relic will explain how to use real user data to overcome the limitations of synthetic tests. Understand the impact that Core Web Vitals will have on your business in 2021, and how to understand your scores using tools like New Relic Browser.
