Hey team,
I wouldn’t usually bother you with page speed issues, as I can always fix these easily. Usually my GP & GB mobile pages have a Pagespeed Insights performance score of over 90% but for reasons I cannot fathom, this one is not playing nicely.I’ve resized images and converted to Webp, added fairly aggressive caching and yet my mobile score fluctuates between 68 and 71.
Page Speed insights is blaming the <div class=”gb-container gb-container-d9156534″> with the Largest Contentful Paint element at 5,480 ms. But this only has the banner image and the Logo, both of which are optimised.
Why is my Mobile Page Speed not hitting the mark this time and what is making the gb-container-d9156534 so sluggish?Thanks

Hi there,
The Container itself is just a
<div>element, but this may be caused by the background image itself.What kind of difference do you see if you temporarily remove the background image?

Hey Tom,
I will need to delve deeper into this one. If I remove the WebP Banner Image it vanishes from the website, but Pagespeed Insights and GT Metrix still see it, thus returning the same result. Even if I clear and purge Litespeed cache, the image remains in my test platforms. If I disable Litespeed, the image disappears from Page Speed Insights and GT Metrix, so I’m not getting a representation of how the site is performing while cached.
Seems there may be demons at play here and most likely not related to my angelic GP or GB. I sense that Litespeed Cache is playing up, which makes sense as they have been rolling out update after update recently, which suggest that they have issues.
If you have any other ideas, let me know, but I’m thinking this may not be your issue.
Thanks anyway. -
Caching issues can be super frustrating to work with, especially while you’re in active development.
I personally like to keep caching turned off while in development. If I can improve those scores without caching, then it’s only going to get better once I turn it back on.
