Your questions answered

What determines a website's leaderboard position?

Websites are ranked best to worst based on their Core Web Vitals performance. Each website receives a score that combines the performance of three key metrics: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and Interaction to Next Paint (INP).

What are Core Web Vitals?

Core Web Vitals (CWV) are a set of metrics used to measure user experience on the web. Each metric measures a different aspect of user experience, focusing on initial content display, visual stability, and responsiveness. For more on CWV, read our guide.

How often are leaderboards updated?

Leaderboards are updated once per month. Aggregated performance data is collected from the Chrome User Experience Report. Technology data is sourced from the HTTP Archive.

Which World News websites are included?

This leaderboard tracks 173 of the world's top world news websites, including Al Jazeera, NHK, NBC News, BBC, The Guardian and more. Sites are curated based on global notoriety within the World News sector.

How can I benchmark my website against these results?

Use our free Core Web Vitals Test to check your site's current performance, then compare your LCP, CLS, and INP scores against the world news leaders above. For ongoing benchmarking, Calibre's monitoring platform lets you track your scores over time and get notified of regressions.
