A lot of people think that web optimisation is as simple as downloading a plugin that helps with some bits. Nope! Sometimes UX requires surgery, just like the human body requires it at times. Furthermore, just like humans, sometimes cosmetic surgery is required, and other times a life-saving surgery is warranted.

At this point, nearly a month had gone by and the web core vitals continued to show improvement, but yet, continued to fail the test. I did not let this stop me, I persevered. And it was well worth it because the next day, finally…it PASSED!

As it can be seen, it took nearly a month of constant optimisation to get my website out of hospital. At this point, my main concern is the immediate performance scores, which were showing low even if the core web vitals text was passed. This predicts that it might get worse, before it gets better, and now I will have to pay close attention to daily performance checks to ensure that the site stays stable.
