Google launches Web Vitals to measure and improve site performance and user experience

Google announced a new service today called Web Vitals, aimed at web developers and site administrators, which gives them a unified interface that contains all the indicators for tracking user experience and the performance of their sites.

Google believes that its new service gives the basic indicators to maintain the quality of the user experience on the web.

Google has been providing over the past years tools to help website owners, marketers and developers improve their user experience. But now it offers its own set of statistical tools and indicators.

Google believes that site owners are not supposed to know many technical details about the performance of their sites, so its initiative comes to simplify the scene in front of them so that it helps them to understand the indicators that they need only.

Google asserts that over time it will develop the indicators provided by its service. Currently, it focuses on the user experience on three axes, namely download - interactive - and visual stability.

Google displays several metrics for each of these axes with an easy-to-track visual indicator to know your site’s performance in each of them, whether it is good, needs improvement, or weak.
