LCP updates in Chrome 112

[Ian Clelland]

Starting in April 2023, coinciding roughly with the release of Chrome 112, Chrome will begin to exclude low-content images and backgrounds as LCP candidates. This is likely to affect LCP of pages which use very simple images, such as single-color or gradients, either as large backgrounds for the whole page, or as placeholders for lazily-loaded content.
