Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

A poor Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) score can often be caused by backend issues. While tools like Page Speed Insights and Google Lighthouse are helpful for frontend analysis, tracing user journeys and examining spans help uncover more issues. By doing so, developers can pinpoint problematic database queries or other backend operations that contribute to slow LCP scores.
