The Chrome UX Report, also called “CrUX,” is a public set of data about how real people use millions of websites.  Unlike lab data, CrUX or Chrome user experience report data comes from users in the field who have agreed to share it.

It measures the Core Web Vitals metrics, like Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), as well as diagnostic metrics like First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Time to First Byte (TTFB).

The dataset also has qualitative information about the user experience, such as the type of device and connection.

This lets you look more closely at user experiences that are similar in how they use technology. The full list of metrics can be found in the CrUX documentation.

What is the Chrome UX Report?

The Chrome UX Report is a public set of data from millions of real user measurements (RUM) of how well websites work.

The report has been around since 2017 and is updated every day, but it has been hard to get to the data until recently.

The information comes from real Chrome users who have agreed to share information about their browsing with Google.

For this opt-in to work, the user must have:

• Chose to sync their browser history
• Set up a sync passphrase on a bit.
• And have the ability to report usage statistics

Even with these problems, millions of Chrome users still send Google information about how they use the browser.

However, a website has to be pretty busy before the information is useful.

Took Measurements

In addition to the Web Vitals, the report includes the times of the following events:

DOMContent Loaded

When the main document has been loaded, it will say “Loaded.”

Onload

 When all of a page’s resources have been downloaded and analyzed;

Dimensions

Since performance can vary a lot, the metrics are split into the following dimensions to help segment and understand the user experience.

• Country
• Device Type: Tablet, Phone, Desktop
• Connection Speed: 2G, 2G, 3G, 4G, or offline

Seeing the numbers in the report

In the report, there are several ways to see how well your website does. These things are:

Pagespeed insights

Google’s tool for analyzing websites gives a summary of CRuX data for the URL being looked at and for the whole site if data is available.

BigQuery Google

Direct access through BigQuery gives you the most freedom. You use SQL (database query language) to maintain the CrUX database.

The bad thing about it is that you need to know SQL and have a Google account to use it.

The Search Console from Google (formerly Webmaster Tools)

The search console now has a section called “Core Web Vitals.”

This section gives basic information about whether URLs pass the Core Web Vitals or not, as well as a nice historical graph of performance for both mobile and desktop.

Google’s Data Studio

Data Studio is a tool for visualizing data that lets you build CrUX dashboards on top of the Chrome UX Report.

It makes it easy to make a cool graph showing how your website (or someone else’s) is doing over time.

The website directly affects the page experience and the user experience

Google is always looking for new and cutting-edge ways to improve the online experience for its users.

Google’s work to help website owners get the most out of their sites is a big part of this effort.

When website owners make sites that are easy to use and helpful, everyone benefits.

But the only way to be successful at something is to know the rules and standards.

Google released a new set of metrics in May 2020 to help measure how well a website works and how it affects the user experience.

These were its most important web facts.

The goal was to get rid of random and small details that were making things hard to understand.

Google did this by reducing a website’s user experience score to three main factors:

• LCP (Largest Contentful Paint).
• FID (First Input Delay).
• CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift).

Core Web Vitals is based on how important the page experience is to the user experience as a whole.

How does Google define page experience?

For its purpose, page experience is a way to measure how users feel about their time on a specific web page.

When you put together LCP, FID, and CLS, the three parts of Core Web Vitals, you get powerful information.

As a whole, CWV results give a clear picture of how a user interacts with a page on a certain website.

This page experience is the most important part of how they use the Google search engine as a whole.

Core Web Vitals is now a permanent part of Google’s algorithm, which was the last step in putting the new metrics together.

Core Web Vitals focus on how fast, responsive, and stable a website looks.

But it’s important to remember that they are just parts of a much bigger picture.

Summing Up:

Google’s view of how well your website works is shown in the Chrome UX Report.

It is also a free way for real people to measure how well your website works, which is a great way to find out how people see your website.

If you want your site to rank well and save money on AdWords, it needs to pass the Web Vitals test, and the Chrome UX Report is the source of truth.
