Within the historical past of Google web page pace rating algorithms, we had three totally different bulletins. Most lately we had the web page expertise replace from 2020 that makes use of core internet vitals, in 2018 we had the Google web page pace replace, after which in 2010 we had the Google website pace replace.
Google solely makes use of core internet vitals. Google’s John Mueller confirmed on Twitter that Google now solely makes use of the latest replace for web page pace rating, particularly the web page expertise replace that measures web page pace utilizing core internet vitals.

Outdated web page pace algorithms. John stated “no,” to Google utilizing the outdated 2010 and 2018 web page pace algorithms.
Why we care. Reality is, web page pace as a rating issue is tremendous gentle and does probably not make an enormous distinction for rating functions. However both method, it’s good to know that Google not makes use of the outdated web page pace algorithms, though one would possibly contemplate it apparent for Google to not have two or extra competing algorithms.
