Google PageSpeed Insights is based on a score of 100, so many people try their best to hit that goal with SEO content and perfect web design. However, this “search engine optimization technique” doesn’t guarantee higher rankings because the “out of 100” number doesn’t matter.
Optimized at the Speed of Site
The algorithms that Google operates with definitely take the speed of your site into account. The search engine doesn’t try to hide that, but it doesn’t mean that this site speed affects your optimized content.
As of May 28, 2020 certain user statistics are partially responsible for your PageSpeed Insights. Labelled as “core web vitals” these statistics range from the loading times on your pages to how interactive your website is. Basically, it’s the user experience.
While that’s obviously important, how much this impacts your Insights doesn’t detract from other website necessities. To be more specific, the quality of your content will always be the biggest factor of ranking.
