" summary

Lighthouse explains how its performance score maps to user-centric metrics and announces a planned increase in CLS weighting in Q2 2021 while still calibrating scoring curves. New audits surface third‑party costs via a minimize third‑party usage report and recommend a facade lazy‑load audit for heavy embeds like YouTube. CrUX now has field data for 8 million origins and includes EffectiveConnectionType in the API. DevTools and Lighthouse show LCP elements, long tasks/TBT, and CLS culprits to guide fixes.
