XF 2.2 LCP issue: longer than 2.5s (mobile)

Suddenly in Google Search Console I am getting this error. Is there some quick fix for this? It's fine on desktop.

There is no quick fix (as far as some setting you can toggle). LCP is simply the amount of time your site is taking to render. Remove things that are slow like giant images or unnecessary JavaScript.

If it’s just for mobile, maybe you are serving up unnecessarily large images for mobile users?

Hard to say when no one knows what your site is (no one can look at it for you).

Maybe remove Google Analytics? I started using that plugin from Digital Point, and I'm a little bit suspect that is what caused it.

You can run Speedtest for your site and look at waterfall and it will tell you.

I don't think the problem is the analytics directly, but rather I am right on the cusp at 2.4 seconds, so I am going to try turning it off for now, and perhaps I can find some images or CSS I can optimize additionally.

Individually small things add up. Analytics, images, CSS, advertisements especially tend to be slow.

More important the LCP though is if the site feels fast for users. That’s the most important thing.
