A fast web experience has long been an important user experience factor that we havepromotedandadvocatedfor. To help site
owners on this quest we showed a preview of theSpeed reportin Search Console at Google I/O 2019. Since then, we've been iterating on all the great feedback
from the beta testers and, starting today, are excited to begin public rollout!
Discovering potential user experience problems can be hard, especially on sites with many pages.
To help site owners, the Speed report automatically assigns groups of similar URLs into "Fast",
"Moderate", and "Slow" buckets. The data is based on theChrome User Experience Report,
which provides user experience metrics for how real-world Chrome users experience popular
destinations on the web.
The report classifies URLs by speed and the issue that causes any slowdowns. Drill down on a
specific issue to see examples of slow URLs to help you prioritize performance improvements for
them. To get a better sense of what type of optimization can be performed for a specific URL, the
report links to thePage Speed Insighttool, which provides information on specific optimization opportunities.
You should use this report both for monitoring your performance over time and for tracking fixes
you made to your website. If you fix an issue, use the report to track whether users experienced
a performance improvement when browsing the fixed version of your website.
To help you understand how your site is performing, you can also see what types of URLs are doing
better by checking the moderate and fast buckets.
This new report is classified as "experimental" as we plan to continue to iterate and improve the
metrics and recommendations for site owners. We will monitor feedback submitted directly through
the report and in theuser forumto ensure that it is useful and helpful, so please let us know how we are doing.
