Hi,
I’m looking for help resolving this issue. This happened without making any changes, it appears that Google changed something which had a negative affect on my website.
When I researched the issue, I came across something called URL grouping and this possibly being related which would make sense, because I have a bunch of ‘duplicate’ URLs due to my website being available in different languages. The different language versions have recently been shut off, so I suspect that this is also contributing to the issue, but I’m not positive.
Any help would be appreciated!!
Not sure if your duplicate/broken URLs have anything to do with a problem with LCP (Largest Contentful Paint). Can you post your store’s URL where this issue appeared?
That is likely. I have a lot of duplicate pages mainly due to an app adding variant URLs. Super frustrating but I can’t figure out how to stop it from happening. It also appears to be mostly on mobile.

I think your LCP time is high because of your loading animation:
Has that been there for a while? Was LCP not an issue before?
(Not related, but there is also a “–>” piece outputted on your page, you can see it above your header. It’s after the Meta Pixel tracking code, so you should check there first, but it might be coming from elsewhere.)
I fixed the -->, I was editing some code yesterday and missed it, thank you for catching that.
The load screen logo was added back when I started using this theme, I wanted it to have a logo vs the load screen being blank so customers wouldn’t navigate away. I will remove it and see what it does for the page speed.
