Question-of-the-week
Are you satisfied with your main site's page experience score?
Google began rolling out the page experience update a couple months ago and indicated the initial rollout would be completed this month. For sites with significant traffic, Google Search Console provides good information about how well it views a site is doing in the Page Experience Report. Knowing what you have and have not done, and taking into account feedback from the Page Experience Report, what is the current view of your site from a page experience perspective? If your site is not yet where you think it should be, is more work on page experience a high, medium, or low priority for you? View poll
