    Hi, My site was automatically upgraded to WordPress 5.9 yesterday. The AMP plugin version is 2.2.0 and it states that it is compatible with 5.9.

    Since the update, my page speed has dropped from high 90’s (in lighthouse and pagespeed insights) to mid 60’s. I’m not sure what has caused this but I took so much trouble to build a fast site, it breaks my heart to see an update like this causing such a drop! It immediately triggered failures in page experience core web vitals.

    What can I do??

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi
    I have a problem with the speed of the mobile version on my website. It only shows 72 on Paghspeed insights, but 97 on Desktop. How can that be?
    I have switched the nitropack on to optimize it.

    The site is https://olejuulsmuskelterapi.dk

    I hope you can help.

    Hi @evojulle53,

    I couldn’t check if you are using the AMP plugin, If you are having issues with the AMP plugin please, open a new topic.

    About your non-AMP version, because of all the JS/CSS and the large DOM from the theme, the nitro plugin is taking longer to do improvements on the front-end the LCP is higher because of it.

    A quick improvement that you can do is to change the display property from your fonts to swap.
