Improving each of these should hopefully chip away at the timings of more granular events that precede the LCP milestone, but whenever we’re making these kinds of indirect optimisation, we need to think much more carefully about how we measure and benchmark ourselves as we work. It’s vital to measure what you impact, not what you influence.
