Pages
The CrUX Monitoring Pages card lists every page you track with Google's latest Core Web Vitals, and lets you add and remove pages.
The Pages card on the CrUX Monitoring Overview lists every page you track, with Google's latest figures on Phone and Desktop. Owners and admins also add and remove pages here. There is no separate settings page for CrUX Monitoring.
Before you start
- To open the card, select CrUX Monitoring in the domain sidebar and scroll down to Pages.
- Workspace owners and admins can add and remove pages. Members see the card read-only.
- The number of pages you can track depends on your plan. See Plans and limits.
The two tabs
The CrUX Monitoring Pages card has two tabs. Each tab shows its number of pages.
- Google data: the pages that Google rates. The card title is Pages Google rates.
- Waiting for Google: the pages that Google has no data for yet. The card title is Pages waiting for Google. This tab shows only when such pages exist.
Click a row in Google data to open its Page details.
Columns of the Google data tab
The Google data tab of the CrUX Monitoring Pages card has these columns. Each figure column shows Phone and Desktop side by side.
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Page | The page address. The whole-site row has a Whole site chip. |
| Result | If Phone and Desktop pass Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP and CLS all Good). |
| LCP, INP, CLS | Google's latest figure for each measure, in its band color. |
| Google clicks | Clicks from Google Search in the dates you selected. Needs Google Search Console. |
The list starts with the whole-site row, then the pages that are furthest over their limits. Click a column header to sort by it. The order uses the worse of Phone and Desktop.
The Result column
Each device in the Result column has one of four results:
| Result | Meaning |
|---|---|
| passes Core Web Vitals | LCP, INP and CLS are all Good. |
| does not pass Core Web Vitals (amber) | The worst of LCP, INP and CLS is Needs improvement. |
| does not pass Core Web Vitals (red) | The worst of LCP, INP and CLS is Poor. |
| not enough data | Google has not published all three Core Web Vitals for this device yet. |
Icons in a row
- A falling arrow (Slipped a band) means that Google now rates the page worse than a week earlier. The tooltip names the device.
- The information icon opens Google data: the TTFB of each device, Data from (the date of Google's newest data) and Last asked (when VitalSentinel last asked Google).
- An Old data chip means that Google's newest data for the page is more than 60 days old. Do not read it as today's rating.
The Google clicks column
The Google clicks column needs Google Search Console. If it is not connected, the card shows See which slow pages bring Google clicks with Connect Google Search Console. Then you can fix first the slow pages that bring the most visits. The whole-site row shows no clicks, because Search Console counts clicks for each page.
Columns of the Waiting for Google tab
The Waiting for Google tab of the CrUX Monitoring Pages card has three columns: Page, Status and Last asked. The Status column shows one of two statuses:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Waiting for the first check | VitalSentinel has not asked Google about this page yet. |
| Not enough Chrome visits yet | Google publishes a page only when enough Chrome visitors reached it. VitalSentinel asks again automatically. |
Filter the pages
The filter bar of CrUX Monitoring has three filters for the Pages card:
- Page: part of the page address, for example
/blog/. Use contains or does not contain. - Core Web Vitals result: Good, Needs improvement or Poor. This is Google's band for the worse of Phone and Desktop.
- Whole site or one page: Whole site or One page.
When a filter is on, the card says how many pages match, for example 12 of 40 pages match the conditions in the bar below. If no page matches, the card shows No pages match these filters. The filters do not change the verdict or the Core Web Vitals card.
Add pages
Owners and admins add pages from the Pages card of CrUX Monitoring. You can enter addresses or add all pages from your sitemap.
Add pages by address
- On the Pages card, click Add pages.
- Make sure that Manual is selected.
- In Pages, enter one full address on each line, for example
https://example.com/pricing/. - Click Add page (or Add pages for more than one).
Each address must start with https://. If no address is valid, the dialog shows Use the full address, starting with https://. and lists the bad addresses. If only some addresses are not valid, VitalSentinel adds the valid addresses and skips the others. Pages that you already track show under Already monitored. After you add a page, VitalSentinel asks Google for its data automatically.
Add all pages from your sitemap
- On the Pages card, click Add pages.
- Select Sitemap.
- Click Track all sitemap pages.
- In Add all sitemap pages, click Confirm.
The Sitemap tab uses the pages that Sitemap Monitoring found. VitalSentinel skips pages that you already track. If your plan limit stops the import, a message says how many pages it skipped.
If the first sitemap check is not complete, the tab shows a message and Open Sitemap Monitoring. If a check runs now, it shows Sitemap scan in progress. If no sitemap pages exist, it shows No sitemap pages found yet.
Worth tracking
The Worth tracking card shows your most-read pages that you do not track yet. Google publishes data only for pages with enough Chrome visits, so busy pages are the ones most likely to have CrUX data. Click Track on a row to add the page.
The card needs Web Analytics. Without it, the card shows See which pages are worth tracking with Install the Web Analytics script.
Remove a page
When you remove a page, VitalSentinel permanently deletes all CrUX data that it collected for that page.
- On the Pages card, find the page.
- In the Actions column, click the delete button (Delete this page).
- In Delete this page, click Delete page.
You cannot remove the Whole site row.
Plan limit
The Pages card of CrUX Monitoring shows how many pages you use, as pages in your workspace. Near the limit, an Upgrade plan button shows. When you reach the limit, the card shows Page limit reached and the Add pages button is disabled. Its tooltip says Page limit reached. Remove pages you no longer need or upgrade your plan.
Troubleshooting
Why is a page in Waiting for Google?
If the status is Waiting for the first check, VitalSentinel has not asked Google yet. It asks automatically, soon after you add the page. If the status is Not enough Chrome visits yet, Google has no data for the page. Keep the page if you expect more traffic, or use RUM Monitoring for it.
Why does a page show Old data?
If a page shows Old data, Google stopped publishing new data for it more than 60 days ago. This often means that the page now gets too few Chrome visits.
Why does the Sitemap tab show no pages?
If the Sitemap tab shows No sitemap pages found yet, Sitemap Monitoring has no pages for your domain. Open Sitemap Monitoring and check its status.
