Improving Core Web Vitals of my site

Hey kind helpers!

Like many others here, I would like to improve my mobile core web vitals score.

I use GP Premium and host on Cloudways.
For speed optimization, I use WP Rocket, Shortpixel, Cloudflare CDN.
I also have EZOIC ads on my site.

I spent numerous hours optimizing my site, but currently don't know how to continue.
I often have a mobile score below 50. Search Console also says that I only have poor mobile URLs.
Can you please help me?

Thanks!
Daniel

I was struggling to improve the speed of my Ezoic site. However, I still have not a good solution due to the ad affects.
If you are using Leap, it may conflict with the plugins you mentioned

Hi there,

I also notice your Featured Image is being lazy loaded which will negatively effect the LCP time.

You should look to remove the lazy loading of the featured image. Most lazy loaders allow you to exclude an image with a specific CSS class - see this topic to add a class to the featured image for that purpose:

The other issues if you check the PSI report will give you a handle on the problems, which are very much the same as to what we see with other sites with this advert config.

Under the Lab Data Film strip you can filter: Show audits relevant to
FCP - it states: Reduce initial server response time - something you should address with the host.
LCP - same as FCP plus: Reduce unused JavaScript - which gives you a breakdown of the scripts. If you can't remove them then you should look to defer their loading if possible.
