Google Passages Page Experience Update

Google's John Mueller said on Twitter that passage indexing/rankings and the page experience update are "very different things." This came about when Michel Fortin asked if the two might launch together.

I do expect the passage indexing ranking feature to go live in early 2021, maybe in January. But the page experience update won't be live until May 2021.
