On October 5, 2023 we encountered an issue that slowed down indexing of some content from 10:30am to 4:20pm PDT. We believe this issue is now resolved.

Our guidance on page experience is here, as we shared last week along with our blog post:
https://t.co/C2Yt3az5TN
It does *not* say page experience is somehow "retired" or that people should ignore things like Core Web Vitals or being mobile-friendly. The opposite. It says if you want to be successful with the core ranking systems of Google Search, consider these and other aspects of page experience.
We also made an update to our page on ranking systems last week. Ranking *systems* are different than ranking *signals* (systems typically make use of signals). We had some things listed on that page relating to page experience as "systems" that were actually signals. They shouldn't have been on the page about systems. Taking them off didn't mean we no longer consider aspects of page experience. It just meant these weren't ranking *systems* but instead signals used by other systems.
How did they end up on the page in the first place? Last year, we stopped used the term "update" as being synonymous with "systems" -- this post explains more about that: https://t.co/sc3nUt4ygH
In making the page, we looked at a number of "updates" we've had over the past year and converted describing those as systems. In hindsight, the various page experience "updates" we've had became systems and were added when, as signals, they shouldn't have been. So when we updated our page experience guidance last week, we also updated the systems page to no longer list these things that weren't actually systems but signals.
As to the confusion that's come up, we didn't direct people to review the ranking systems page last week as part of our guidance about page experience. It wouldn't have made sense. We dropped the systems that were actually signals so that if people did go to that page in the future, they wouldn't (hopefully) get confused.
Instead, we did a blog post explaining things people should care about, along with an updated page about page experience, and both of these had FAQs. Here's the blog post again: https://t.co/7EZTxOhKvH
The big takeaway? As our guidance on page experience says in the first sentence:
"Google's core ranking systems look to reward content that provides a good page experience."
Hope this helps clarify things more.
