Google is now rolling out the desktop version of the Google Page Experience update. This rollout started Tuesday, February 22, 2022 and will roll out through the end of March 2022. You probably won’t notice any real ranking changes from it but we have to report on it anyway.
The same factors, outside of mobile friendliness, are being used for the desktop version of this page experience update – as we reported about earlier. The original Google page experience update was announced in May 2020 and the mobile version went live between June and May 2022. It did not really have a big or visible impact to the overall rankings in the mobile search results and we do not expect there to be a significant impact to the desktop search results with this rollout.
Here is a chart of the factors included in this update compared side by side with desktop to mobile:
For the desktop page experience update this includes:
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
- First Input Delay (FID)
- HTTPS Security
