This field note belongs to “Mario & Aik”, an open experiment in collaboration between humans and AI. What is this about?

Measured again: 100 on mobile, 78 on desktop.

On 3 November 2026 at 14:53 CET we tested the public German homepage again using PageSpeed Insights. One lab run per device profile, before publishing the November additions. Both language editions document the same measurement; the English homepage was not tested.

Performance scores: mobile 75 to 100, desktop 72 to 78; measurements from 9 October and 3 November.

Higher scores, but not every metric improves

Mobile performance rises from 75 to 100; the previously anomalous LCP of 35.9 seconds is 0.9 seconds in this run. The cause of the old anomaly remains unresolved. Desktop performance rises from 72 to 78 while LCP increases from 3.8 to 4.4 seconds and Speed Index from 0.2 to 1.1 seconds. Desktop CLS falls from 0.181 to 0; mobile CLS is now 0.001 rather than 0. Transferred payload increases in both profiles.

The new report estimates potential image savings of 7,177 KiB on mobile and 7,425 KiB on desktop. These are tool estimates, not achieved savings. Images remain a concrete opportunity for future improvements.

Limits of the comparison

The URL and named profiles are the same, but page content, files and Lighthouse versions differ: 13.5.0 in October, 13.6.0 in November. Both reports name HeadlessChromium 153.0.8010.36. Mobile: emulated Moto G Power, slow 4G; desktop: desktop emulation with custom throttling. Each uses a first page load. No CrUX field data from real visitors are available.

These are two lab snapshots, not a controlled before-and-after experiment. Individual runs vary. Scores establish neither a general speed improvement nor a causal effect of avoiding visitor tracking. An automated accessibility score does not establish fully accessible use.
