“I want to emphasize the fastest website in the world is not necessarily the most optimized website. So, when we talk about optimization we’re talking about having a website that’s going to get the conversion that you’re seeking. Whether that is somebody filling out the contact form or somebody purchasing something from your shop. To that end, we should pay attention to and take seriously something like website speed.”

Introduction
Google is rolling out with a major page experience update this coming June. It’s an update that was originally scheduled to be released in March so the delay is good news for those who are just learning about it. In this episode Krista and I discuss what this algorithm update is all about, what you need to know about core web vitals, including optimizations that you can make your Showit or WordPress websites, and we discuss how worried or not worried you should be about what’s coming.
