- Google has added "other notable metrics" to PageSpeed Insights today, Aviel Anders Fahl on Twitter

- That's objectively wrong. Seriously, I'll pass along the concerns about UX. Me, I'm a web page person. All I tend to want is a list of web pages. But there are lots of people who want more than that., Danny Sullivan on Twitter
