Page Experience methodology
Page Experience measures whether a browser can retrieve, render, and use the page effectively. It combines delivery checks with Mobile and Desktop performance, automated accessibility evidence, and Best Practices.
What this category checks
- HTTP delivery, browser rendering, viewport, and document setup.
- Automated accessibility evidence for language, headings, links, images, and media.
- Mobile and Desktop Performance, Accessibility, and Best Practices.
- Core Web Vitals using URL field data, origin field data, or a labelled Lighthouse lab fallback.
These are technical checks. They do not judge whether the page's search intent or explanation is clear; those interpretation questions belong to SEO and AI Content.
