Back in November, Google confirmed that core web vitals will become ranking signals in May of next year.
Here the Core Web Vitals specifically:
Mobile-friendliness
Safe-browsing
HTTPS-security
Intrusive interstitial guidelines
Consider this post your EOY reminder that, if you haven’t accomplished the above things on your website, you should get started on doing so immediately. When Google starts enforcing the above signals anyone who is not prepared may be in for quite a shock to their rankings.
