Is Rankar Academy completely free?

Yes. Every lesson, every topic, and every certificate is permanently free. No credit card, no trial expiry. All 10 Rankar tools have free plans that cover every exercise.

How long does one lesson take?

Each lesson takes 12 to 18 minutes to read, plus 5 to 10 minutes to complete the hands-on task in the Rankar tool.

Do I need prior experience?

No experience needed. The program starts from absolute zero — Lesson 1 explains what SEO is and assumes you know nothing.

Do the certificates work on LinkedIn?

Yes. Every certificate has a unique ID you can verify at rankar.ai/verify and add to LinkedIn under Licences and Certifications.

Does RankAudit work as a standalone tool?

Yes. RankAudit functions independently but becomes more valuable paired with other Rankar modules. Each module shares data so insights from one show up in the next.

Who has access to RankAudit?

Agency Owners, Managers, and Staff with the right project permissions can use RankAudit. Permissions are configured per project.

RankAudit Performance — CrUX Field Data Guide

The Performance tab in RankAudit uses Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) field data to show real Mobile and Desktop Core Web Vitals — not lab data.

Meta Title: RankAudit Performance — CrUX Field Data Guide Meta Description: The Performance tab in RankAudit uses Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) field data to show real Mobile and Desktop Core Web Vitals — not lab data. Primary Keyword: crux field data audit Secondary Keywords: core web vitals field data, rankaudit performance, mobile cwv, desktop cwv URL Slug: rankaudit-performance-crux-field-data Featured Snippet Target: RankAudit's Performance tab uses CrUX 28-day field data — the real Core Web Vitals Google measures from actual Chrome users. The tab splits Mobile and Desktop views, each showing LCP, INP, CLS pass/fail counts. Sites without enough traffic show "No CrUX data" and fall back to lab measurements.

Introduction

Lab data answers "how fast can this page be?" Field data answers "how fast is this page for real users?" Google ranks on the field data. RankAudit's Performance tab pulls CrUX (Chrome User Experience Report) data and reports the 28-day rolling field metrics for both mobile and desktop. For rankar.ai the report shows "No CrUX data — site may not have enough traffic for the public dataset," and falls back to lab measurements.

The Mobile vs Desktop Split

The tab opens with two summary tiles: Mobile and Desktop, each showing CRUX 28-DAY FIELD and a passing count (e.g. 0/0 passing when no CrUX data is available). The tile in focus is highlighted; click FOCUS → on the other to switch views.

The Detailed Metrics Below

Beneath the tiles: "MOBILE — DETAILED METRICS" with Mobile/Desktop sub-tabs and filter pills (All / Critical / Warnings / Notices). A Push 1 to RankOps button creates tasks for any flagged metrics.

For sites with traffic, this section shows LCP, INP, and CLS as individual metrics with pass/fail badges. For low-traffic sites, the message "No CrUX data" appears with a fallback note explaining the limitation.

What "MOBILE 1P" Means

The label 1P is a per-device label. The Performance tab shows the metric at the page level, the device level, and the 75th percentile of user experience — the threshold Google uses for ranking.

How to Get CrUX Data Flowing

CrUX requires sufficient daily traffic from real Chrome users with Usage Stats enabled. Practical minimums vary, but generally 1,000+ daily page views is the threshold. Until you reach that, your audit will show "No CrUX data" and you should focus on lab-side improvements via the Speed tab.

What's Next

Performance covered. The next article unpacks the Speed tab — full Lighthouse audits with side-by-side competitor comparison.

Apply This With the Rankar Toolkit

RankAudit works best paired with the rest of the Rankar suite. Spin up the relevant tools: RankTalk • RankOps • RankAudit • RankWriter • RankTracker • RankAIO • RankBridge • RankLinks • RankLocal • RankLaunch • RankSpy • RankUX • RankLead. Each module shares data with the others — fewer tabs, one source of truth.
