I wonder ... Do we need Cloudflare support? The free tier? I don't think the forum images will be served from their CDN, though, because they are password protected.

Uploading images fixed! It was a stale cache after the kernel/PHP update last night.

If I have time, I will upgrade the operating system tonight. If the site is not responding - check my twitter: https://twitter.com/like_ra

Going to experiment with the viewport settings - you might see a broken design on some devices.

AAaaaaaand it paid off!!! The high First Input Delay has finally disappeared for mobile users!!!!!

   

Apparently, it took Google a month to collect the user experience statistics, but here we go - the tweaks do work!

quick question... external links always used to open in new tabs by default... now it wipes out the forum, so I have to remember to go "back"
is this something that changed in a recent update tweak?

Same here !

Most likely yes ("target=_blank" disappeared?). The quick fix is to open links in new tabs. If it's an inconvenience, I'll try to fix it 😇😋

On my side, even on Android 7 and 10, it's working. Sometimes, some video posted on some page is aborted and message apears "video playback aborted due to the network error". Not related with my local internet speed
