better position in Google SERPs.
There are a number of general reports that incorporates this new signal:

- Safe-browsing
- HTTPS-security
- Intrusive interstitial guidelines
And this will help Google bots to apply the new factor "Page Experience
Ranking" that most of the SEOs were avoiding when they try to optimize a
web-page.

pages.
