 * I am at a loss. When I put the website thru PageSpeedInsights I get a 56 score.
   The LCP element is causing the biggest issue. I have tried resizing, reuploading,
   changing the photo. I can’t figure out what is giving it the 6200ms render delay.
   The desktop performance is perfect. Why is there such a dfifference between the
   two?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpoor-mobile-performance%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi there!
 * Glad you reached out to us.
 * We have a post to improve your LCP score: [https://www.kadencewp.com/help-center/docs/kadence-theme/largest-contentful-paint-lcp/](https://www.kadencewp.com/help-center/docs/kadence-theme/largest-contentful-paint-lcp/)
 * On your page specifically, the Render Delay subpart on LCP is 83%. See this screenshot:
   [https://share.zight.com/d5ukorwO](https://share.zight.com/d5ukorwO)
 * An **83% delay** means that a huge portion of your LCP time is spent waiting (
   _not rendering_). Which suggests something is blocking or delaying that content.
 * Some reasons for this are:
    - Slow Server Response (TTFB – Time to First Byte). Use a CDN, optimize server
      performance, and enable caching to improve this.
    - Render-Blocking Resources (JavaScript or CSS files are blocking the browser
      from rendering the LCP element.)
       * Minify, defer, or async non-critical JS.
       * If you don’t have any optimization plugins active yet, try using one.
 * I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other concerns.
