FAQ for CRUX Reports

How are the numbers in the CRUX reports calculated?

The metrics in the CRUX reports are derived from Google's Chrome User Experience Report, which aggregates real user data collected from opted-in Chrome users. This data reflects actual user experiences over a trailing 28-day period, focusing on key performance indicators like Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS). The numbers represent the 75th percentile of performance, providing a reliable benchmark for website speed and responsiveness.

Why do you limit the countries included in the reports?

To ensure meaningful analysis and avoid skewing results with insufficient data, we limit our reports to countries with a significant volume of user interactions. This approach helps maintain the quality and reliability of the metrics, while also avoiding any potential offense to smaller nations that may not have enough data points for accurate reporting.

How often are the CRUX reports updated?

The CRUX reports are updated monthly, allowing us to track changes in performance metrics over time. This regular update cycle helps us identify trends and improvements in website loading speeds across different countries and devices.
