Corrections Policy

Last Updated: October, 2026

1. Our Commitment to Accuracy

At Core Web Vitals, we aim to publish accurate, clear, and useful information about website performance, Core Web Vitals metrics, PageSpeed optimization, web technologies, and related tools and services.

We understand that technical information can change as browsers, search engines, software, hosting platforms, and web standards evolve. Even with careful research and editorial review, errors or outdated information may occasionally appear in our content.

This Corrections Policy explains how we identify, review, and correct such issues.

2. What We Correct

We may review and correct published content when we identify or receive credible reports of issues, including:

• Factual errors: Incorrect statements, figures, definitions, or technical explanations.
• Outdated information: Guidance affected by changes to Core Web Vitals, browser behavior, software features, web standards, or industry practices.
• Technical inaccuracies: Incorrect code examples, configuration instructions, performance recommendations, or troubleshooting steps.
• Broken links and references: Links that no longer work or sources that have moved or become unavailable.
• Misleading wording: Statements that could give readers an inaccurate impression of a technical concept, product, service, or recommendation.
• Formatting and editorial errors: Typographical mistakes, unclear sentences, or presentation issues that interfere with understanding.

We prioritize corrections that could materially affect a reader’s understanding, technical decisions, website performance, or security.

3. How We Review Reported Errors

When an error is reported or identified, we may take the following steps:

1. Review the report: Examine the relevant article, statement, code example, or recommendation.
2. Verify the information: Consult relevant documentation, authoritative sources, technical references, or other reliable evidence where appropriate.
3. Determine the necessary action: Decide whether the content requires a correction, clarification, update, link replacement, or more substantial revision.
4. Update the content: Make changes when the review establishes that an update is warranted.
5. Document significant changes: Where appropriate, explain material corrections or updates in the article.

The time required to review a report may vary depending on its complexity, the evidence available, and the technical issue involved.

We cannot guarantee that every report will result in a change, but we aim to assess credible reports fairly and carefully.

4. Minor Edits and Substantial Corrections

Not every edit requires a formal correction notice.

Minor Editorial Changes

We may correct spelling, punctuation, grammar, formatting, or other minor issues without publishing a separate notice, provided the changes do not materially alter the meaning of the content.

Substantial Corrections

If an article contains a significant factual or technical error, we may correct the relevant passage and add an editorial note explaining the nature of the correction.

Where appropriate, the note may identify what was incorrect, what was changed, and the date of the correction.

Updates to Existing Information

When technical information changes over time, we may revise an article to reflect current documentation, updated recommendations, or changes in software and web technologies.

Such revisions may represent normal content maintenance rather than corrections of errors. We aim to distinguish these situations where doing so would help readers understand the change.

5. Technical Content and Performance Recommendations

Core Web Vitals and website performance guidance may depend on a website’s infrastructure, hosting environment, content management system, plugins, scripts, caching configuration, network conditions, and other factors.

If we identify an error in a technical explanation, code sample, configuration guide, or optimization recommendation, we will review it and make appropriate corrections where warranted.

Readers should understand that a technically accurate recommendation may not produce identical results on every website. Performance measurements can vary by device, network, testing conditions, and the data source used.

We aim to clarify material limitations or conditions when they are necessary for readers to interpret our recommendations correctly.

6. Product, Tool, and Service Information

Information about third-party tools, hosting providers, plugins, performance monitoring platforms, and optimization services may change over time.

If we identify outdated pricing, inaccurate feature descriptions, incorrect compatibility information, or other material errors, we may update the relevant content after reviewing the available information.

Readers should confirm current prices, features, limitations, and terms directly with the relevant provider before making purchasing or implementation decisions.

Any affiliate relationship associated with a recommendation is addressed in our Affiliate Disclosure.

7. How to Report an Error

We welcome readers who bring potential errors, outdated information, broken links, or unclear technical guidance to our attention.

To report an issue, email:

contact@corewebvital.org

Please include the following details where possible:

• The URL of the page containing the issue.
• The specific statement, instruction, code sample, or section that may be incorrect.
• An explanation of the problem.
• A reliable source, official documentation link, test result, or other supporting evidence, if available.
• A suggested correction, if you have one.

Providing specific details and supporting evidence helps us investigate the issue more efficiently.

8. Review and Response

We will make reasonable efforts to review correction requests and respond when appropriate.

Response times may vary according to the complexity of the issue and the volume of requests received. Sending a report does not guarantee a particular response time, a change to the content, or publication of a correction notice.

We may request additional information when necessary to assess a report.

9. Editorial Independence

We aim to make correction decisions based on accuracy, relevant evidence, and the usefulness of the information to readers.

Commercial relationships, affiliate commissions, sponsorships, or other business interests should not determine whether a legitimate factual or technical error is corrected.

We reserve the right to assess reports independently and make editorial decisions based on the available evidence.

10. Policy Updates

We may revise this Corrections Policy as our editorial practices, website operations, or applicable requirements evolve.

Any revisions will be published on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
