Google is removing the Page Experience report from Google Search Console, the company announced on LinkedIn This morning. Google said this was to “reduce unnecessary clutter” within the tool.

Google added that it “always encourages you to focus on providing a good page experience for your readers and monitoring the health of your site’s page experience in CWV and HTTPS reports” .

We knew this was coming, Google told us in April 2023 but now the time has come for Google to remove it. In fact, I no longer see the report in my Google Search Console profiles.

Why it matters. In my opinion, removing this report from Search Console is not just about reducing clutter, I mean, there are tons of tools and you don’t need to click on them if you don’t want to. But it’s about helping site owners, creators, SEOs and others focus more on what matters with Google search and SEO and less on what doesn’t matter as much.

What Google said. Here is what Google published on LinkedIn:

“We are removing the Page Experience report in Search Console. This page summarized data from the Core Web Vitals and HTTPS reports, which will continue to be available as is.

We’ve decided to remove this page to reduce unnecessary clutter in Search Console and make it easier to navigate to this information. We always encourage you to focus on providing a good page experience to your readers and monitor your site’s page experience health in CWV and HTTPS reports.

Farewell, Page Experience report ”

The Core Web Vitals and HTTPS report remains. A dashboard view of individual Core Web Vitals and HTTPS reports will remain in Search Console, Google told us in April.

Changes to useful content and page experience. Google too announcement Earlier this year, a good page experience is a requirement for creative, which Google defines as: useful content.

Google at the start launched the Page Experience Report in April 2021 then updated this report in November 2023.

This is what the report looked like:
