Hi @johnmu , many people ask me if the site's loading speed must be high to enter Google Discover? Or should our urls be fine in CWV? My response to them was that we have sites with slow loading speeds and poor cwv urls and Google Discover entries and I don't think they are directly related. What is your answer?
@shahram I'm pretty sure we don't have that connection documented anywhere, and I'd be surprised if CWV were a requirement for Discover. The main difference for Discover vs Search is the set of policies that applies: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/9982767 & https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/google-discover
@johnmu John, if a site that has an input from Discover, can you get more input from Discover by increasing the site's load speed?
@johnmu I know my question is axioms, but I need your confirmation.
@johnmu I learned that in order to increase the discover input, the index-discover time should be increased - for example, a site has a discover every 6 hours, and a site has a discover every 20 minutes and more content in discover.
This topic is not related to the speed of the site and it is about interests and general topics, is this correct?
@shahram I don't quite follow what you mean :-). Can you elaborate? What do you consider "discover input" and what do you mean with "a site has a discover"?
@johnmu Maybe my measurement criteria is wrong, but I am sure that the input of Discover BBC is more than that of CNN.
I just wanted you to understand what I mean.
@shahram In the screenshot you have a pretty specific search feature, which isn't necessarily mapped to a technical attribute.. What do you mean with "input of discover"? how quickly new pages are found? or something related to the Discover search feature? What do you consider an "input"?
The terminology is complicated! I don't want to give you an answer that's wrong just because I assume you mean something else :-).
