Google Search Central team and John Mueller,

Hope you all are staying safe and healthy in these trying times. Really appreciate your efforts in updating all of us with latest happenings.

I'd like to know more about Web Stories surfacing officially on Google Search, Images for the 6 Web (AMP) Stories niches like Travel, Food, Games, etc., as announced in AMP Conf '19. The reality is: Web Stories need to show up so that people can adopt the format. Moreover, the existing creators/publishers need motivation and purpose to publish Web Stories. Please cover this topic in your next videos, if possible.

Web Stories need to show up across the globe and not just in few countries. Else, it's going to be difficult. Coz it's been 3 years! Period.

Awesome footage again, Danke John. PS. I love the outtakes 🤣🤣

[ryanclare]

Love these updates, so helpful when working on a web focused product 💖

I think you mean some people, like you, mistakenly pronounce it as "Rejex" when it's actually "Regex, " a shortening of REGular Expression this the G sound over the J sound 😉 And absolutely life the outtakes 😂

Hello John,

Could you please tell me the reason for the Impression drop in GSC?
Is it related to hosting performance or anything else?
I have 2 websites and I found an impression drop on both site pages.
Could you please help me to fix this issue?

Thanks

[michelborrer]

So if a site is "mobile first" indexed, will G still consider the desktop version's web vitals as ranking factors or just the mobile version?

[HerroEverynyan]

The fact that you said that "rejex" is the correct way of pronouncing it means the world to me.

[magicaljankari]

there is a big problem on google news publication in content setting is that there is no option to choose rendering preferences like Amp or feed content. it is defines bug please solve it as fast as you can thanks

[jorgesepulveda]

Must implement some code to improve the speed of the website with the automatic ads of google, because the speed drops more than 60%. The other factor that google must change is that the pagespeed measurements must be at least with 4G, they do not have to measure with 3G because it is impossible to improve with so little signal.

Hey John,

To measure LCP, CLS, FID score does Google consider the element of whole webpage or just above the fold section?

[Rafaelorenzoni]

Nice to have this ULTRA VIDEOS! And please GOOGLE TEAM, consider this feedback: is very noticable that PageSpeed Insigths Lab Data and Ligthhouse cannot measure correctly the Core Web Vitals for the Field Data and Origin Summary. For example my LCP in the tests ALWAYS (100% of the time) gives 0, 8 and 1, but in the origin summary i see that in 4, 5, in some individual other pages with field data i see that better, sometimes in 3 and some others in worst.

And for last, my website was giving a huge CLS in the Field Data and Origin Summary because of the AdSense responsive ads. It was in the 0, 8 [HUGE], but the Lab Data was showing something like 0, 072 and 0, 068 in the 100% of the tests. Now i fixed that by reserving space for the adsense blocks with a tweak in the AdSense code and my CLS now is droping HEAVLY in the Field Data and Origin Summary. The lab data is showing that now at 0, 022.

In the end the lab data is WAY TO SOFT i think, this tool need to show us the reality, so we can REALLY IMPROVE.

Thank's for everything!

Ever since the update I've been getting "insufficient HTTPS coverage on your site", even though I have no HTTP pages according to the search console performance report. Is this because the rollout hasn't started yet? I can't find any solutions anywhere, any pointers would be much appreciated.

[pistakkiomarketing]

Thanks for info and greetings from Italy!

[cesaraugust]

I have a question or a suggestion, it depends if you guys have the feature or not.
How do I include and interlink my bussines Google site with small websites ? Imagine a content or service description at a website that create links to Google site or the opposite.

[erpatnatigasin]

Thank you thank for your Advise And forr the Information, , i wil look back for that sir,

[farrisfahad]

I have an issue with Google. I find myself sometimes wanting to delete all my index pages or some. Just a one-button reset that your site has gone through some changes and now you serve different URLs. I really think that webmasters would appreciate that.

[alijee]

Hey is rewriting review article work ?

[reecevaughan]

Thank god they delayed it until mid June!

[BehruzbekOtayev]

What if I don't care.
My users don't depend on Google to find the website. And honestly, they shouldn't.

[stealthbusiness]
