Ecoport previously hired experts to optimize its site speed.
As usual, the experts placed scripts that trick the pagespeed to achieve 90 pagespeed scores. And, as usual, the core web vitals were still failing because those scripts can only trick lab data.
With some research, I found that his theme blocks the entire display of the page loading until the load() event, if you’re using one animation feature:
This explains why “FCP” and “LCP” are identical.
We removed the animation and also removed the spoof script.
The site is now passing LCP after never having passed in its history(either desktop or mobile metrics):
The site also recovered its popularity ranking(from top 10M to rebound to top 5M):
If you check, the pagespeed score is bad, but this doesn’t mean anything, as you should always focus on field data, as Google says.
