Google to retire CrUX Dashboard for Core Web Vitals in Nov 2025 - what to use instead

Google Retiring Core Web Vitals CrUX Dashboard

Google plans to deprecate the Looker Studio-based CrUX Dashboard and remove the CrUX Connector to BigQuery in late November 2025. The company cited reliability limits and recurring outages during monthly data refreshes. As alternatives, Google recommends CrUX Vis (explore it here) and the CrUX History API.

• Product: CrUX Dashboard, a Looker Studio template for CrUX data.
• Timeline: retirement planned for late November 2025.
• Connector: the CrUX Connector to BigQuery will be shut down.
• Impact: dashboards using the managed connector will stop updating after removal.
• Access: users can query the public CrUX BigQuery dataset with their own credentials.
• Support: Google will continue to update and maintain the public dataset.
• Reason: frequent outages around monthly data releases.
• Alternatives: CrUX Vis and the CrUX History API.

Background

The CrUX Dashboard summarizes monthly Chrome User Experience Report metrics for a single origin. Built in Looker Studio with a managed connector, it struggled to meet demand during data refresh windows, leading to outages when new CrUX data was published each month. Google notes the dashboard was not designed for wide-scale use.

The CrUX History API provides weekly historical metrics for trend monitoring without Looker Studio dependencies. Google also introduced CrUX Vis, a hosted visualization tool for CrUX data.

Core Web Vitals include metrics such as Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and Interaction to Next Paint (INP). CrUX provides aggregated, anonymized field data for these metrics across many origins. The public BigQuery dataset will remain available after the dashboard shutdown.
