This will be another "update" to even more cement the top ranking pages. Like I said, soon they will just manually pin top pages for every search keyword and call it a day.

So they say, but would it really be that?

It won't kick in for a few days at the earliest, but don't be tempted to try to second guess and jump in blindly to make changes.

True true... It is just to keep a close look!
 
This is one of my websites that was hit with core web vitals. I made a few changes, but it's still slow according to GSC.

In the past four days, traffic has increased by 30-40%, according to Google Analytics, which is the amount it dropped when CWV hit it.

Google said it has already started before they even announced the update, so not sure if the increase in traffic is related to the current update....

(Ignore 24th of aug hike,it's referral spam)

I can't wait to see how Google will screw up again the real sites
 
I can see some changes as well from this update. ~30% increase in traffic mainly from articles with 2000+ words. Those articles are very well written, with a lot of facts and scientific references. Not many images though...and no videos.
 
I haven’t seen either any boost or drop on my sites after May. I lost 50% traffic in May update.
 
I hope my sites will boost again, because after May update I've lost 20%.
P.S. I appreciate that you've shared this news with us! Thanks! It is very useful to read that I am not only the one who had lost traffic!
