Of course, it matters what your users experience rather than what some search engine crawler sees, but one of the great things about the Core Web Vitals initiative is that it does measure real user experience rather than what Google Bot sees!

There are ways around that, of course. The other issue is that the data I’m getting back is based on lab simulations where I can add throttling, determine the device that’s used, and the network connection, among other simulated conditions. On that note, it’s worth calling out that there are multiple flavors of network throttling.

In addition, service workers have the ability to intercept and handle network requests (for e.g., caching and pre-loading purposes). When the user browses away from a website, the service worker of that website is typically paused by the browser; it is then restarted and reactivated once the parent domain is visited again.
