The two pages shown in the image have a bad LCP score.
The pages are quite simple, but do you think that the presence of multiple modules called up on the pages and the use of Conditional Content conditions from Regular Labs (regarding the type of device or today's date) could cause the bad LCP score?
Can you suggest a resource for understanding the reasons for this unsatisfactory score?

Hi
Can you suggest a resource for understanding the reasons for this unsatisfactory score?
The first resource is just your browser. Assuming you're using a Chrome derivative, the developer tools will give you information about what is the LCP element on that page and more details. Similarly, Google Page Speed will conduct an analysis about the page in question and give you information about what's causing the problem in their eyes.
The one important thing to understand about Core Web Vitals is that the score you see in Google Search Console and in 4SEO are real scores. They were measured when one or more visitors loaded a page from your site on their device.
A consequence is that if you look at the Page Speed analysis in your browser deve tools or at Google Page Speed, the LCP may be just fine there - because it's measured in different circumstances (device, network speed,...).
But what counts for SEO is not what you see in your browser or on Google Page Speed. What matters is the measurements taken with real visitors.
The information you get on Google Page speed or in your dev tools is still useful though, because if it tells you that the LCP on this page is this particular image or
, then it's always the same and that's the one you want to understand and optimize.

No. I work under Linux and use Firefox. Firefox also has analysis tools: I often use them to understand which CSS rules to work on. I will just have to learn how to use them to optimise web pages.
Thank you for suggesting Google PageSpeed. I just used it on https://example.it/ and noticed that the problems are mainly on the mobile version.
But I also saw that many improvements are recommended for computers as well.
I will try to find the best compromise between web page speed and my sanity...
Thanks again!

Firefox is great but as far as I know, it does not provide indication on Core Web Vitals, so it's unlikely to help you here - aside from general optimization of the web page of course, which are always good.
So Google Page Speed is your best bet, or just use Chrome/Edge or similar for that purpose.
