Introduction

The objective of this dashboard is to show how URLs from a site are distributed over time across Google's Core Web Vital (CWV) metric thresholds. By default, the timespan of this report is the last complete 7 days, bucketed daily.

What are the Core Web Vitals

Core Web Vitals (CWV) are a set of metrics that measure a website's performance and user experience. These consist of Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS). Please see our articles covering Core Web Vitals for more information on these metrics.

Where to find this report in the Portal

Once you have accessed the BTBI tool, go to the Core Web Vitals folder on the right-hand side of the page. This is where you will find the Core Web Vital URL Volume report.

Device Type Distinction

The report is separated by device. You will see data for Desktop on the top half of the report and data for Mobile on the bottom half.

Dashboard Components

These components are the same across both desktop and mobile. Desktop data can be viewed in the upper half of the report while mobile data can be viewed on the bottom half of the report.

URL Performance Category Distribution 

This line chart displays up to 3,000 URLs daily, and organizes them into a daily distribution of the performance categories: Good, Needs Improvement, and Poor. For more information on these thresholds, see Dashboard Terms. The table below this graph represents the same data as this line graph in tabular form.
