[Resolved] Ongoing problem with LCP No idea what to do…

[Bart]

Ok I am getting mental now… Have no clue what to do or what to change… I create new blank page, literally nothing there and checking PageSpeed Insight show me that my largest content is loading in 3 sec… how if there is nothing there. When I inspect the page there is tons of code but page is blank… what to do ?

Hi there,

Any chance you can disable all plugins except GP Premium to eliminate conflicts from other plugins first?

Let me know 🙂

[Bart]

Still the same Leo. around 4-7 seconds of LCP

[Leo]

Can you clear and disable your caching plugin?

Also is there a reason why you are using 800px of bottom header padding?

[Bart]

Leo I cleared all cache and disable all plugins apart of GP and it was the same.

800px padding was made when i try to do header from customize window, because now mine is made as element

And I change it now to normal and still didn’t change the result

[Leo]

Can you activate a Twenty series WP theme and see what result you get?

Let me know 🙂

[Bart]

3,9sec instead of 6

[Leo]

Where are you getting the 6 seconds from?

Just tested with GTMetrix and the result is quite good:

And this is PageSpeed Insights at 3 seoconds and not 6:

When I check the page, I’m still seeing some plugins activated like Contact Form 7 and LiteSpeed Cache.

Here is an article that might help:

My friend work on GP as well and he do not have this issue

This comes back to the Optimized CSS from LiteSpeed…. the background image is added by CSS, which is being deferred to load later, hence the longer LCP time.

You may want to speak with LiteSpeed on how you can make sure that the Optimized CSS contains includes the CSS require form the page-hero element.

Hi David

Will try to ask them. I literally go trough all the options and cant really find the solution…

[David]

Looking at the LiteSpeed plugin – it only seems to provide a automated method, doesn’t look like other plugins that allow you to exclude files from optimization… i would expect they have some PHP snippets that can do that.
