What are Google Algorithms?
Google’s Algorithms are a complex system used to retrieve data from its search index and instantly deliver the best possible results for a query. The search engine uses a perfect mixture of algorithms and various ranking factors to rank web pages by importance on its Search Engine Result Pages (SERP).
Previously, Google used to make only a few updates to its algorithms. Now, the situation has changed a lot. Google makes thousands of changes every single year. Most of the updates are so minor that they don’t even get noticed. The search engine rolls out major updates that have a great impact on the (SERP)s such as:
- Fred
- Hummingbird
- Intrusive Interstitials
- Update
- Pigeon
- RankBrain
- Payday
- EMD (Exact Match Domain)
- Page Layout Algorithm and many more.
Here we are mentioning a few Google Algorithm launches, updates, and refreshes over the past few months.

GOOGLE PAGE EXPERIENCE ALGORITHM UPDATE IN 2022 :
The year is about to end, and there are already Google Algorithm updates for the year 2022.
Google’s Latest Update will be applied to desktop search results in February 2022.
The Google Latest Update for the year 2022 launch will be commencing in February 2022 and will finish rolling out at the end of March 2022. The factors for the desktop version will be similar to those for the mobile device.
Jeffrey Rose from Google said, “We will begin using page experience as part of our desktop ranking system beginning in February 2022. The rollout will be complete by the end of March 2022. This ranking launch will be based on the same page experience signals that we rolled out on mobile earlier this year.”
Mobile friendliness, which is a signal built into the page experience for mobile search, will not be applicable to desktop.
It has been kind of confirmed that the page experience ranking will boost on desktop, and it will be advantageous for the user even if the site isn’t efficient for mobile.
If your site has separate desktop and mobile URLs, the desktop signal is based on the URLs that desktop users see.
For the desktop page experience update, these all are included:
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
- First Input Delay (FID)
- HTTPS Security
- Absence of Intrusive Interstitials
Google will soon add a new report to Search Console to help you understand how your desktop pages are performing with regard to the page experience update.
CONCLUSION :
New Google Algorithm latest updates are coming in 2022. As expected, the report will be available before March 2022, as it mostly helps people stay ahead.For notifications from Google Update, you can also start here.
