What are the desktop Core Web Vitals for www.bbc.com?

Accepted Answer

www.bbc.com desktop-only p75 metrics from Google CrUX: LCP 1099ms (good), INP 46ms (good), CLS 0.100 (good). Desktop typically shows better LCP + INP than mobile due to faster hardware + network.

Question 2

Why is desktop performance better than mobile for www.bbc.com?

Accepted Answer

Desktop hardware (more CPU, more RAM, wired network) typically renders pages faster than mobile (battery-constrained CPU, slower cellular), so desktop often shows better LCP and INP on the same site. CLS varies less by device. Compare directly at /www.bbc.com/mobile for the same time window.
