Official statement

Search Console displays Core Web Vitals data only when there is sufficient user data for a group of pages. If the number of good pages decreases without an increase in bad pages, it simply means a temporary lack of data, not a problem. This effect can even occur cyclically on large sites.

TL;DR

Core Web Vitals only show up when there’s enough user data. A decline may simply signal a temporary lack of data, not a major issue. Remember, this can sometimes be cyclical.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Que faire si mes Core Web Vitals chutent subitement ?
Explorez vos données tierces, étudiez vos logs serveur et examinez les tendances de trafic avant de tirer des conclusions hâtives.
Pourquoi mes pages bonnes diminuent-elles sans raisons apparentes ?
Cette diminution peut résulter d'un manque temporaire de données suffisantes pour certaines pages. Assurez-vous d'avoir assez de trafic.
Dois-je réagir de suite à chaque changement de données Core Web Vitals ?
Évaluez les changements sur plusieurs mois. Recherchez les tendances longues plutôt que de réagir instantanément.
