This score is calculated by launching Lighthouse and collecting and analyzing lab data about the page. A score of 90 or higher is considered excellent. A score of 50 to 90 indicates that there is room for improvement, and a score of less than 50 is considered poor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lab data<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Google PageSpeed Insights analyzes the given URL with Lighthouse, generating a performance score that estimates the page&#8217;s performance on various metrics such as: First Contentful Paint, Largest Contentful Paint, Speed Index, Cumulative Layout Shift, Time to Interactive, and Total Blocking Time.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Good is denoted by a green check mark<br \/>\u2022 Needs Improvement is denoted by an orange informational circle<br \/>\u2022 Poor is denoted by a red warning triangle<\/p>\n<p>What constitutes a good lab data score? &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/speed\/docs\/insights\/v5\/about?hl=en-US#lab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/developers.google.com\/speed\/docs\/insights\/v5\/about?hl=en-US#lab<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Any green score (90+) is considered good.<\/p>\n<p>Any reading you&#8217;ve done up to this point may have led you to the conclusion that having a 90+ score is critical.<\/p>\n<p>This is where the issue arises.<\/p>\n<p>Let us dig deeper into this subject: <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/web\/fundamentals\/performance\/speed-tools#understanding_lab_vs_field_data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/developers.google.com\/web\/fundamentals\/performance\/speed-tools#understanding_lab_vs_field_data<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lab data is performance data collected within a controlled environment with predefined device and network settings.

To be clear, the data is not computed based on lab simulations of loading pages or based on the visits of a non-human visitor like Googlebot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: How is a score calculated for a URL that was recently published, and hasn\u2019t yet generated 28 days of data?<\/strong><br \/>A: Similar to how Search Console reports page experience data, we can employ techniques like grouping pages that are similar and compute scores based on that aggregation. This is applicable to pages that receive little to no traffic, so small sites without field data don&#8217;t need to be worried.<br \/>So on and so forth.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #000080;\"><strong>Bottom line: For ranking, Google ONLY uses Real World Data, also known as field data, and NOT any lab data.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Google states: However, hundreds of other signals, including the other Core Web Vitals, may result in a different ranking&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So, what should you do? Collect field data from your website to gain an understanding of any of the signals used by Google for the PageSpeed Insights report, or test the website with real users in real networks to see how it performs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-624c585 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"624c585\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e6efc50\" data-id=\"e6efc50\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62d3f1c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"62d3f1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.20.0 - 26-03-2024 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How this look in real world:<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2828449 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2828449\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The 1st example: A multilingual WordPress website, optimized for Google PageSpeed Insights lab data, with multiple plugins.

Yes, you can. But this is not today&#8217;s topics)<\/p>\n<p>Back to the answer, to this very specific subject, which is somehow obscured between hundreds of thousands of links to and from Google PageSpeed Insights. I know Google knows as well.

Everything is good.
