Curious Case of High LCP
1 reply · Started by Praveen on April 23, 2021
Hi guys,
I know this is asking for too much, but two of my websites have high LCP even though I have tried everything.
Can you please have a look at the same and provide any pointers. I am linking to takes that are flagged as High LCP by page speed.
Do you think its caused because there is a side bar? or images in sidebar?
Hi there,
i am not sure on this as PSI report doesn't give any valid reason as to why their is such a big difference between FCP and LCP - and testing on other sites there doesn't seem to be a issue.
If i open the Chrome Dev Tools ( Right Click > Inspect the page ) there are some issues to address.
1. Theres a bunch of JS errors in the Console - which look related to Adverts.
2. Opening the Performance tab and running a performance report i see this:

You can see the HTML Document - which is sandwiched between a lot of ad scripts.
Speak with Advert providers support to fix the JS errors.
And look for a plugin like Flying Scripts to defer the loading of the adverts javascript.
Can't say if any of these are the issue - but i cannot see any other problems.
