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)	19.2s	one throttled load on a datacentre machine
Field (real users)	1.0s	75th percentile of actual Chrome visitors over 28 days

The lab figure is 19× the real-user figure. The lab test rates this site poorly, but real visitors are not experiencing it that way — Core Web Vitals pass on field data. Treat a low lab score here as a lead to investigate, not a fault to pay to fix.
