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 3.79 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.

Main thread work
Axe violations axe-core 4.13.0, full rule set
7 violating nodes across 3 rules, 948 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.
-
serious
list— <ul> and <ol> must only directly contain <li>, <script> or <template> elements 5 nodes -
critical
aria-required-children— Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children 1 node -
moderate
region— All page content should be contained by landmarks 1 node
Accessibility failures 2 of 28 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.
-
list— Lists do not contain only `<li>` elements and script supporting elements (`<script>` and `<template>`). 5 nodes -
aria-required-children— Elements with an ARIA `[role]` that require children to contain a specific `[role]` are missing some or all of those required children. 1 node
Hygiene
Changes rarely — which is exactly why a change is worth noticing.
