The Google Broad Core Algorithm Update is a comprehensive update aimed at improving search relevance and accuracy across a wide range of queries. It assesses content quality, relevance, and authority, impacting site rankings based on overall user experience rather than targeting specific issues or pages.

Search Engine Journal contributor Ryan Jones has published an article explaining the Google Broad Core Algorithm Update.
