In 2021, Google mentioned that Core Net Vitals might also be graded primarily based on pages in your website which can be noindexed. Effectively, that’s not the case in keeping with an up to date Google assist doc. A web page that has noindex on it should not be factored into your Core Net Vitals and Google Web page Expertise scores.
The doc now says “Any web page is not going to meet the discoverability requirement if any of the next circumstances 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 sluggish pages? In all probability not, as a substitute make them sooner. However there is no such thing as a have to panic concerning the core net vitals rating on noindexed pages and usually, I would not panic about core net vitals usually 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 affect the entire origin-level CWV rating and for websites with inadequate visitors for page-level information, this can be the one rating obtainable in CrUX.https://t.co/LLMQoNIhQc pic.twitter.com/Vdvep4PNlw
