The Page Experience report in Search Console launched earlier this year to offer publishers and site owners a way to quickly understand how their sites fare against the page experience signals. Today, we’re launching a new version that simplifies the report by removing the Safe Browsing and Ad Experience widgets from the Page Experience report, and fixes on how missing data is handled.
As a reminder, the page experience ranking update started slowly rolling out on June 15, 2021 and the rollout will be completed by August 31, 2021.
Removal of the Safe Browsing and Ad Experience widgets
Safe Browsing systems at Google are designed to keep users safe on the internet. Sometimes sites fall victim to third-party hijacking, which can cause Safe Browsing warnings to be surfaced. We recognize that these issues aren't always within the control of site owners, which is why we're clarifying that Safe Browsing isn't used as a ranking signal and won’t feature in the Page Experience report. Any Safe Browsing flags will continue to be surfaced in the Search Console outside of the Page Experience report.
