Page Experience: The Key to Higher Rankings and Better Conversions
Page experience is more than just a buzzword—it's a ranking factor. Introduced as part of Google's algorithm updates, it measures how users feel when interacting with a page. This includes Core Web Vitals (loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability), HTTPS security, mobile-friendliness, and intrusive interstitial avoidance. A great page experience means fast, smooth, and secure browsing that encourages users to stay longer, engage more, and convert better.

Frequently Asked Questions
What factors influence page experience?
Key factors include Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS), mobile-friendliness, HTTPS use, safe browsing, and no intrusive interstitials.
Is page experience a Google ranking factor?
Yes. Since 2021, it plays a role in how pages rank—especially when multiple pages offer similar content quality.
How can I test my page experience?
Use tools like Google's PageSpeed Insights, Lighthouse, or the Core Web Vitals Report in Search Console to get detailed metrics.
What’s a good Core Web Vitals score?
Yes—but Google is increasingly mobile-first. That said, they aim to roll out page experience signals for desktop as well.
Does page experience matter for desktop and mobile?
It depends. Technical fixes like compressing images or optimizing code can yield fast results, but site-wide UX changes may take weeks. Start with an audit.
