LCP + Critical CSS

no, although we might be able to do something with custom code hooking into AO, but before going down that road; can you confirm adding the image to the preload-list improves the LCP (because it’s just a semi-wild guess up until now)?

so… interesting… it moves that asset up on the waterfall to #2: https://imgur.com/a/3EVIr5

but it does not seem to improve the LCP seconds on PSI: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.galtelligence.com%2Fwhat-to-do-after-a-breakup%2F

related/unrelated, am I able to wildcard something on that preload section? The Social Warfare font has a ?ver=4.10 at the end of it (that correspond with the plugin number).

it also does push it above loading the css / js… but in my (maybe specific) situation, (I think) LCP doesn’t trigger until ALL that stuff (the 2 fonts, css, js, etc.) load

re. LCP for image; was indeed afraid it would not make a whole lot of difference, browsers will always make multiple requests and those will on a low-bandwidth connection compete for attention :-/

re. preload; has to be the entire URL, including querystring even.

well I like that it is higher up! Even though I assume that means nothing…

…okay, thank you. annoying that they add that

Thanks Frank
