Stated page speed rating unrealistic

[roooneey]

I know those lighthouse reports can fluctuate quite a bit, however no matter how often I try, I never see the performance rating go over 85 in pagespeed insights (It's important to check the real theme url and not the demo page that embeds the theme in an iframe)

The only way I can reproduce this all green lighthouse report, that you linked on the README page, is if I run the test locally on my laptop. However I'm afraid my powerful laptop is not as good in emulating an average mobile phone cpu performance as google's cloud servers are.

Now my problem with this is not the the exact amount of performance rating you promise on the readme page, but rather that the FCP and LCP metrics on mobile that are not good at all. I assume it's because the massive amount of javascript the browser has to digest before it can start render anything and on weaker mobile phones this seems to take a while. On Desktop the performance is great.

I'm not saying you did this on purpose, however I find the linked page speed report doesn't reflect the reality and it's misleading devs that look for a hugo theme with great mobile performance. If you doubt the pagespeed insight results, please also have a look at this screen recording.

Hello @roooneey
thanks for your concern. I want to let you know that google page speed continuously varies, and google is often updating the page speed algorithm. So when we put the score on the readme file, it was actually 92. We will also update the theme when we get some time. have a good day.
