Lighthouse Scores LAB Simulated
Metrics LAB FIELD
Field figures are the p75 across real Chrome users over a 28-day trailing window (2026-08-31 → 2026-09-27), url-level.
| Metric | Lab Simulated | Field | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Change / range | Trend | p75 | Distribution | |
| LCP CWV Largest Contentful Paint | 8.47 s poor | ↑ +186 ms (+2.2%) 8.28 s – 8.47 s | 1.59 s good | 88% 6.8% 5.2% | |
| INP CWV Interaction to Next Paint — field only, no lab run can measure it | n/a | — | 132 ms good | 85% 10.4% 4.7% | |

| FCP First Contentful Paint | 3.13 s poor | ↑ +109 ms (+3.6%) 3.02 s – 3.13 s | 1.45 s good | 82% 10.7% 7.2% | |
| Speed Index | 17.58 s poor | ↓ -13679 ms (-43.8%) 17.58 s – 31.26 s | n/a | — | |
| TTFB Time to First Byte | 610 ms good | ↑ +1 ms (+0.2%) 609 ms – 610 ms | 689 ms good | 77.8% 17.5% 4.7% | |
LCP Subparts LAB Throttled
The subparts attribute LCP to your server, resource discovery, download, or rendering. They come from one throttled load, the same one as the filmstrip, so they add up to that load’s LCP rather than the simulated Lab LCP above.
LCP LAB Simulated vs LCP FIELD
The lab LCP is 5.32× the field p75 — real users likely have above-average hardware or network connectivity.

Without JavaScript
The same load, photographed twice at 412×823: once with scripts disabled, once as rendered.
86.6% of pixels differ — the page changes substantially. A shifted layout counts as difference, so a <noscript> banner alone can account for a large figure.
