Your weekly Tips from #SeniSal
Google Core Update including the Google Core Web Vitals
I nearly missed letting you all know about the Google Core Update including the Google Core Web Vitals.
When I read about this update from Google, I immediately email and contacted my WP blogger friend, Meghan, from WPkind for help: I quote a partial response I received from her:
Your site isn’t slow as such, even when I use it on the other side of the pond (she’s in the UK vs me being in Canada) it comes up quick. The problem is that Google is being quite naughty by showing you a performance grade based on a mobile user with a 3G connection (who has that nowadays?). Crucially though, as you probably know Google is going to start using the mobile stats in ranking.
What are Google core Web vitals?
Core Web Vitals, introduced earlier this month, are a set of metrics related to speed, responsiveness, and visual stability. Google has defined these as the Core Web Vitals: Largest Contentful Paint: The time it takes for a page’s main content to load. An ideal LCP measurement is 2.5 seconds or faster.
Do yourself a favor, and measure the speed of a post on your blog here
If you need any help regarding Google Core Update including the Google Core Web Vitals, please I implore you to get in touch with Meghan Nicholas, via her email: me****@me*********.uk and ask her to help you. She did a stellar job on my site and improved the mobile score from a paltry score to nearly 80 out of 100. It’s still not good enough to pass but so much better. We still have some additional tweaks and work to do, but I am so happy that Meghan already managed to improve the speed dramatically.
The Desktop score for my site at present reflects an astounding 98 out of 100 for the same post checked as for Mobile. This is phenomenal and I am so grateful to Meghan for her support and help, so please do not waste a nanosecond. Shoot her an email (you can also let her know that you got her information from this post) and you will be very happy once she worked her magic on your site.

Rank Math
Are you familiar with Rank Math? Have you heard about them?
It’s a WordPress SEO Plugin. Yes, I do have this installed and I do use the FREE version, as it does make my life so much easier when creating and writing my posts.
Yes, it’s totally true and correct that both Rank Math and Yoast SEO support keyword analysis while you’re creating content. Did you know that Rank Math FREE allows you to analyze up to 5 keywords whereas Yoast will only allow one single keyword.
I love the fact that Rank Math will provide you with a score ranging from 0-100, and once you go over 80 out of 100, you will get the GREEN score which is good.
Below an example of one of my posts with a score over 90 out of 100 and most if not all my posts are 80 and over and many over the 90, which I am pretty happy with. Try it out and let me know what you think!
Please we do need your support in order to grow with every linkup. I am sure this can be done and we can create an awesome and welcome environment for all bloggers to Share – Care – Inspire.

You are invited to the InLinkz link party!
The only link I see is for last week’s linky party (April 10-17)…….
Hi Cindy – You commented on 158 and we are now on 159 – The post link for 159 https://esmesalon.com/monday-inlinkz-join-us-at-159-senior-salon/ You will find 3 purple button bars that will take you to the linkup for this week and then a regular link “Come in, we have opened the doors so join us at the Monday InLinkz Join us at 159 Senior Salon” above the very last paragraph. Did you get the email as I have it there in 2 purple buttons as well?
I got there from the link you gave me, but that link wasn’t on the page I opened when I went to the Esme Salon. I could only bring up #158. And, I didn’t get the e-mail before either, so signed up again. But, just posted, so THANK YOU!
Cindy – Glad you signed up as this will help to get to the correct linkup weekly as I cross and double-check the links to work on the email as well as on the linkup for the week. Thanks for everything and hope that it will be easier for you going forward.
Thanks for being here each week!
It’s a pleasure Michele. Just wish we can attract more participants. Please share with your followers and invite them to come and join us, Thanks
Esme, put in a couple links. Enjoy. Thanks for being such a good hostess.
