What LCP is made of observed, unthrottled
A flat LCP number tells you something regressed. The subparts tell you whether it was the server, resource discovery, the download, or rendering.
Measured on the trace before throttling is modelled, so these are real durations that will not sum to the 7.18 s above — that figure is a simulation of the same load on a slow phone and connection. Read these for the proportions: which phase dominates.

606 kB transferred, 84 ms of main thread time. This is the number most likely to regress without anyone on your team shipping anything.

Main thread work
Axe violations axe-core 4.13.0, full rule set
29 violating nodes across 5 rules, 831 passing. This is a standalone axe run, stricter than the subset Lighthouse folds into its score above — and it is the second tiebreaker in the ranking.
-
critical
image-alt— Images must have alternative text 16 nodes -
serious
color-contrast— Elements must meet minimum color contrast ratio thresholds 6 nodes -
serious
link-name— Links must have discernible text 5 nodes -
moderate
landmark-unique— Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination 1 node -
serious
object-alt— <object> elements must have alternative text 1 node
Accessibility failures 5 of 26 audits
Tracked as a count, not just the score — the weighted score is coarse enough that you can ship a broken component and barely move it.
-
image-alt— Image elements do not have `[alt]` attributes 16 nodes -
color-contrast— Background and foreground colors do not have a sufficient contrast ratio. 6 nodes -
link-name— Links do not have a discernible name 5 nodes -
object-alt— `<object>` elements do not have alternate text 1 node -
target-size— Touch targets do not have sufficient size or spacing. 1 node
Hygiene
Changes rarely — which is exactly why a change is worth noticing.
