Google Page Experience Update for May 2021
Are you ready for the latest algorithm factor: Page Experience?
A month without a new Google update to think about is like a month without sunshine here at Digity towers! We've known about this new one for a little while now and have been assessing the likely impact of it for ourselves and our clients.

Here is a snapshot of the fundamentals relating to the impending update which is planned for May:
- Don't believe the hype if you've heard that Google has a new algorithm which is going to turn your rankings upside down - it's more of an update or extension to what has been carefully crafted over recent years BUT it is important.
- It's believed it will take into account more metrics from Google's Web Vitals which focus on your website's loading speed, interactivity and visual stability.
- If you own or run a website you need to understand these signals and be assessing them to ensure they help rather than hinder you.
- Key steps to take focus on continual optimisation for mobiles, improving page speeds, and including alt text for images everywhere possible.
- As before, it's vital to focus on safety, security (e.g. HTTPS in your domain) and following best practice.
