Google continues to bring newer updates with a view to making the search experience better for its users. The company has recently announced the new Core Web Vitals updated that we will see soon.

Botify contributor Tania has published an article answering the question ‘Are Core Web Vitals and Page Experience The Same Thing?’.

She says, “Since the terms “Core Web Vitals” and “Page Experience” became marketing buzzwords around the same time, many believe that they are synonymous with one another. The terms are not the same, however. In reality, Core Web Vitals (CWV) are a system of metrics developed by Google to measure three specific aspects of a user’s individual experience with a web page. For Google, these measurements are quantitative measurements of something truly qualitative in nature. Page experience refers not only to the “Page Experience Score” that Google’s upcoming Core Web Vitals algorithm update (launching in June 2021) will measure but to all of the various ways an actual user can experience a website. In many ways, page experience is more akin to user website experience than the CWV metrics Google is implementing.

What Is Page Experience Really? 

If you perform a search query on Google for “page experience,” the first thing you come across is a Google Developer Guide on explaining what page experience means to search results and is defined as the following:

“Page experience is a set of signals that measure how users perceive the experience of interacting with a web page beyond its pure information value.”
