Atlanta, June 26, 2023 – Google is thrilled to unveil a significant update to its Search Console platform, empowering website administrators and owners with enhanced insights into the performance of their websites. The latest addition to the Core Web Vitals report introduces the inclusion of Input Latency (INP) metrics, which offer a comprehensive understanding of user experience and the responsiveness of websites.
The Core Web Vitals report within Google Search Console has proven to be an invaluable resource for website administrators, assisting them in measuring and optimizing the performance of their websites. The Core Web Vitals report focuses on three crucial metrics: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS). These metrics enable website administrators to evaluate various aspects of their website’s loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability.
With the introduction of Input Latency (INP) metrics, Google is expanding the insights available to webmasters, offering a more holistic understanding of user experience. Input Latency measures the time between a user’s interaction with a webpage (such as clicking a button or tapping a link) and the browser’s response to that action. By including INP in the Core Web Vitals report, webmasters can identify potential issues affecting their site’s responsiveness and optimize their pages accordingly.
By providing these additional metrics, Google Search Console aims to assist webmasters in optimizing their websites and delivering a seamless user experience. This update enables webmasters to address potential bottlenecks in interactivity and response time, ultimately enhancing user satisfaction and engagement.
To access the Core Web Vitals report with the newly added INP metrics, webmasters can log into their Google Search Console accounts. The report provides a detailed metrics breakdown, highlighting areas that require improvement and suggesting potential optimizations.
Google remains committed to supporting webmasters and site owners in creating exceptional user experiences. By continually enhancing the Search Console platform and providing valuable insights, Google empowers webmasters to build faster, more responsive websites that cater to the needs and expectations of users.
