GOOGLE RANKING ‘SIGNAL BOOST’ - Rolling out in May 2021
Google will be introducing three core web vitals benchmarks which must be met in order to qualify for a ranking signal boost rolling out this May.
Core Web Vitals are Google’s new standards for evaluating whether a page provides a good user experience.
The metrics consist of:
· Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): Measures the speed at which a page’s main content is loaded. This should occur within 2.5 seconds of landing on a page.
· First Input Delay (FID): Measures the speed at which users are able to interact with a page after landing on it. This should occur within 100 milliseconds.
· Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): Measures how often users experience unexpected layout shifts. Pages should maintain a CLS of less than 0.1.
NOTE – ALL minimum requirements need to be met to benefit from the upcoming algorithm update.

Similar to the home news feed, you can take "control" over the news you want to appear by removing any stories or sources you don't want to see again.
