Google has updated the core web vitals and the page experience FAQs accessible in the Google support forums. From its original version, quite a bit has been updated. As announced by Google, in these FAQs they have answered some of most asked questions about page experience ranking like: Where does Core Web Vitals data come from? How are scores for individual URLs calculated? In other words, how is it determined if a page passes or fails the web vitals assessment? How is the score calculated for a URL that was recently published and hasn't yet generated 28 days of data? and many more.

But the biggest question that arises is if Google is still prioritizing the websites with the best information then on what basis will they judge the website's Core Web Vitals. If the website with a good amount of information is found to be poor at Core Web Vitals then how it will affect their rankings. Google has mentioned that a good website representation will never override good and relevant content.
With Googleb's page experience update which is going to launch in May 2021, everyone is confused if it will have a major or less impact on their rankings. However, everyone is measuring and enhancing their website's user experience.
Here are some of the Updated Core Web Vitals and Page Experience FAQs:
- Where does the Core Web Vitals data that Search considers come from?
The data comes from the Chrome User Experience Report, which is based on actual user visits and interactions with web pages (also known as field data). To be clear, the data is not computed based on lab simulations of loading pages or based on the visits of a non-human visitor like Googlebot.
- What is the page experience update and how important is it compared to other ranking signals?
The page experience update introduces a new signal that our search algorithms will use alongside hundreds of other signals to determine the best content to show in response to a query. Our systems will continue to prioritize pages with the best information overall, even if some aspects of page experience are subpar. A good page experience doesn't override having great, relevant content.
This is similar to changes we've had in the past, such as our mobile-friendly update or our speed update. As with those signals, page experience will be more important in "tie-breaker" types of situations. If there are multiple pages of similar quality and content, those with better page experience might perform better than those without.
In short, publishers shouldn't worry that when we begin using page experience, that they may suffer some immediate significant drop, if they're still working on making improvements. But publishers should be focused on making those improvements a relative priority over time. This is because as more and more sites continue to improve their page experience, it will be the norm that publishers will want to match.
- Are Core Web Vitals a ranking factor when using Google Search on non-Chrome browsers?
Yes. Page experience ranking signals, based on Core Web Vitals, are applied globally on all browsers on mobile devices.
