Core Web Vitals 97% Still Failing

[ghostofseo]

In trying to reverse engineer why Google has removed rankings from my site we took a hard look at Core Web Vitals. Our numbers were bad to be honest. Now were sitting at the following:

97% Performance
95% Accessibility
100% Best Practices
100% SEO

Yet my website is still Failing Core Web Vitals?

Any advise here? Trying to do the Google dance, our content is great, Bing thinks so however Google has decided to put a big arrow on my back or pile of stinky dog poop on my head. I will fix this even if Google hates me. I know our content is great, I know people love to read our content, and I know Google is now showing content that is actual the opposite of helpful.

Web ebb and flow... changes you make NOW may take as long as six months to show up in the serps. G is fast, but it ain't that fast and has a lot of hoops to jump through before final results are in.

MEANWHILE, don't go crazy trying to change MORE things as that will make your site appear turbulent and chasing SEO (among other things).

You've made the changes, seen improvements, now WAIT to see the benefits.

NOTE: That will not happen tomorrow!

Google is changing its algorithm in early 2024, especially after the latest updates.

You need to provide the best user experience
Website layout design must be simple with low CSS
keyword density 0.6 is to be maintained
The quality of content must be user-friendly
Create social signals for your published posts

Google removed rankings to give a huge boost to Reddit. IMO, this was part of the deal Reddit and Google entered into so that Google AI could train from access to Reddit posts. Because of this many independent websites have lost 50%+ of their traffic, so I'm not sure if anything can be "fixed" on our side.
