Reminder that this changed rolled out in Chrome 133.

If you’re seeing worse LCP times and load your LCP images from another domain (and didn’t have the TAO header set) then that could be why.

We’re therefore intending to change this to allow the proper LCP time to be exposed (though coarsened a little to be accurate to within a few milliseconds rather than the exact time).

This will mean you can get the (approximate) LCP time even without setting the TAO HTTP header! 🎉
