SEO Web Vitals

Hi, this is Tom from Matomo, the creators of the web analytics platform which is used by over 1.4 million websites and apps in over 190 countries.

SEO Web Vitals are being used more and more by search engines such as Google to rank websites so they can ensure a great page experience for users arriving via links from their search results. After all, search engines don’t want to send people to pages that appear jittery or take forever to load. Therefore, web vitals play an important role in search engine optimisation.

As a website owner or marketer, you need to monitor these SEO Web Vitals for strategically important pages. Monitoring your SEO Web Vitals enables you to understand how your site performs in the wild, i.e. how quickly it loads for your actual users. See how good or bad a page performs and then continue to monitor these metrics over time as you optimise the page experience. This optimisation work will help improve your overall performance scores and, ultimately, your ranking position within search engine results pages.

The SEO Web Vitals plugin integrates perfectly into Matomo meaning you can receive regular reports in your email inbox and you can configure custom alerts to be automatically notified when a page score changes significantly. This can save you time by not having to check page performance scores manually while ensuring you will be notified should there be any important change that needs to be actioned immediately.

Improve your search result rankings with SEO Web Vitals

• Maintaining and improving SEO Web Vitals is a core element of SEO best practice.
• Pages that load quickly and are more stable deliver a better user experience, so they’re ranked higher by search engines.
• Use SEO Web Vitals to monitor your competitors’ metrics and see how your site compares.

SEO Web Vitals help you to optimise your website visitor experience

• Know how quickly pages on your website load for visitors.
• Identify page stability issues and implement the changes needed to enhance your visitor experience.
• Deliver the ultimate user experience for website visitors to achieve your goals.

Improve your website performance monitoring with SEO Web Vitals

• Have peace of mind knowing if your SEO Web Vital metrics decrease, you can find and fix the root cause that introduced this performance regression.
• Configure alerts so you are notified whenever your page score decreases significantly.
• Get SEO Web Vital reports sent to you automatically.

Monitor your competitors

Another often missed opportunity is the fact that these metrics are essentially open for anyone to inspect. You can’t hide your website performance; it simply is what it is. Therefore, you can also measure the SEO Web Vitals of your top competitors to benchmark your site against theirs. This means you can optimise your site to ensure it provides an objectively better experience for your users. With all else being equal, this will enable you to leapfrog your competition in the search results.
