Slow lab page

Case Notes

This page documents the intended bad state for the WordPress CWV pair.

  • Oversized eager LCP image.
  • Render-blocking global CSS and JavaScript.
  • Multiple web fonts without preload or font-display handling.
  • Weak cache headers and no object cache.
  • Below-fold media loaded eagerly.

Added bad-state layer v0.2

  • Artificial origin delay for visible TTFB.
  • Parser-blocking local JavaScript loaded in the document head.
  • Post-load long tasks to increase TBT.
  • Late promo and review blocks inserted above content to create CLS.
  • More chat-like static widget loaded globally.
  • Asset versions intentionally cache-busted.
  • Lazy loading disabled.
  • Image dimensions intentionally removed from generated attachment markup.
  • Extra eager below-fold JPEG gallery for request and transfer pressure.
