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)	7.1s	one throttled load on a datacentre machine
Field (real users)	1.6s	75th percentile of actual Chrome visitors over 28 days

The lab figure is 4.4× the real-user figure. The lab test looks acceptable while real visitors are failing Core Web Vitals. This is the more serious direction of disagreement: the problem is real and a one-off lab run is missing it. The metric failing for real users is responsiveness (INP).
