Google Removes Several Search Ranking Algorithm Updates from Ranking Systems Page
Google has removed several page experience-related ranking systems from its documented Google ranking systems page. The page experience system, the mobile-friendly system, page speed system and the secure site system are all gone. Comparing the live page to the archived page reveals that Google has completely removed the page experience system from the page and it was not even moved to the “retired” systems section.
It is unclear whether these algorithm updates mattered at all to the overall Google ranking system. Google revised its helpful content guidance to include page experience while at the same time removing the page experience report and mobile usability report from Google Search Console. In a blog post explaining these changes, Google wrote that the page experience update was always just a “concept” and added it was never a “separate ranking system”.

YouTube Music Now Has Podcasts (Sort Of)
Google has integrated podcast support into YouTube Music, with podcasts appearing as a separate section in search results and a “Podcasts” tab on the desktop site's home page. Progress made in a podcast on the main YouTube app also appears on YouTube Music, and vice versa, without requiring a YouTube Premium subscription. However, YouTube Music's podcast support is limited as it only allows listening to content uploaded directly to YouTube and does not offer RSS feed imports or access to shows from other podcast apps.
