    Here is the support UUID – ampwp-0beb04c3-216f-5167-87f4-73354e30d719

    Basically, I use if else in theme, to render differently for amp and non-amp. Using amp_is_request() method.

    If I do a google pagespeed check on normal mobile version – I have score over 90+ .

    If I do a pagespeed check on amp mobile version – i get lower score around 77.

    As I can judge from the report – LCP and FCP is slower in AMP version, and also it has TBT blocked with chaining scripts.

    Would be great to have options to disable scripts? or reduce amount, I dont think I use all of them. Also do you think using <img> instead of <amp-img> without lazy loading would improve first paint? First image on screen should not be lazy.

    Thank you for your work!

    Hello @samtyurenkov

    Thank you for contacting us, it seems you are using a custom AMP template (possibly from your theme?) that has the carousel loading above the fold which may be the cause of the LCP issue.

    Regarding the AMP scripts the AMP plugin detects the usage of the AMP component on the page page it will load the script associated with that component, Which means the scripts are loaded either are being used or have a dependency which makes it load on your AMP page.

    You can contact your theme/ custom AMP template author and ask them to make changes so it doesn’t load the carousel above the fold.

    We hope this helps!

    @milindmore22 Thanks for the quick reply.

    Well my point is that I have even more scripts on non-amp mobile version and it also has a carousel above the fold. But it performs better.

    So why is that? AMP is supposed to be faster than regular non-amp page. But right now, my non-amp page with more scripts performs better.

    Are there any particular ways to optimize carousel in AMP template?
    Any way to lazyload scripts, if you say I cant remove them? maybe somehow make them non-render-blocking? load them after initial page load?

    @samtyurenkov As issue belongs to AMP upstream, I’ll mark this as resolved. Feel free to open a new support topic if you require any further assistance.
