Lab speed against real users

Largest Contentful Paint measured two ways: one throttled lab run, against 28 days of real Chrome users.

Lab (Lighthouse, mobile)	14.5s	one throttled load on a datacentre machine
Field (real users)	1.4s	75th percentile of actual Chrome visitors over 28 days

The lab figure is 10.5× the real-user figure. Both agree there is a problem, and the field data confirms real visitors are affected. This is worth fixing. The metric failing for real users is responsiveness (INP).
