In 2021, Google stated that Core Net Vitals can also be graded primarily based on pages in your website which might be noindexed. Effectively, that’s not the case based on an up to date Google assist doc. A web page that has noindex on it can not be factored into your Core Net Vitals and Google Web page Expertise scores.
The doc now says “Any web page won’t meet the discoverability requirement if any of the next situations are met, together with root pages for the origin dataset: The web page is served with an HTTP X-Robots-Tag: noindex header or equal. The doc features a meta identify=”robots” content material=”noindex” meta tag or equal.”

So must you noindex gradual pages? In all probability not, as an alternative make them sooner. However there isn’t a have to panic concerning the core internet vitals rating on noindexed pages and generally, I would not panic about core internet vitals generally however that’s me.
Brodie famous this caveat:
Noindex pages don’t get their very own CrUX information that’s true, nevertheless they’ll nonetheless influence the entire origin-level CWV rating and for websites with inadequate site visitors for page-level information, this can be the one rating accessible in CrUX.https://t.co/LLMQoNIhQc pic.twitter.com/Vdvep4PNlw
