How does Google Search establish ranking?
Clarifying Google Search's Page Experience Update
The update is being called the Page Experience update and its main focus is on usability rather than things like keywords or search relevance. Google has already provided some information on the update, which aims to measure and potentially rank the experience that a user encounters when visiting a page.
Google asks the following questions when evaluating websites: Do pages have good Core Web Vitals? What does the Lighthouse Audit (Google Chrome) indicate? Are pages served in a secure fashion? Does content display well for mobile devices? These are among the many factors Google considers when making updates to Google Search.
