Your arguments are what makes landing pages be fast. It’s still not enough to push for the SaaS internals to be fast, or really any other page not related to conversion.

This is definitely a good point. I wonder does anyone know if the Chrome User Experience Report [2] dataset will be used in the upcoming Google Page Experience Update [1]? If it will be included then perhaps this will create pressure for faster whole-site experiences. Basically if your landing pages are fast but your actual SaaS dashboard is slow then this will be reported back to Google by Chrome users - and then potentially affect your ranking.

For those who aren't familiar with Chrome User Experience, Chrome collects website performance data while you browse under certain circumstances (I think you need to be opted into sync) and so Google essentially has detailed RUM data for any web origin with a decent amount of traffic.
