Will better hosting or a better CDN fix my LCP over 2.5 seconds? (Core Web Vitals)

I've tried and tried to get LCP under 2.5 seconds in order to pass Core Web Vitals.

I have GeneratePress and everything as optimized as possible. Currently I'm running on Ezoic servers for their free Wordpress Hosting along with their caching & cloud thingy, also running Ezoic Leap with everything turned on, all the optimizations. I've also completly turned off Ezoic ads for most pages for the time being to see if that would help (and it seemed to help some). They also have me on Cloudflare CDN (which they say runs hand in hand with their CDN).

I got it to where Core Web Vitals tool shows 95 on Mobile and 99 on Desktop, but Google fails me on real world experience because LCP is over 2.5 seconds for both mobile and desktop.

So, I'm thinking maybe the next answer is to get better hosting? I'm not sure how Ezoic Wordpress hosting compares to what's out there. I don't even know if that matters. When I contacted Ezoic, the rep seemed to act like the hosting doesn't really matter, it's all about the caching anyway. I'm also thinking that the only thing that really matters is the CDN, since if the CDN is holding a copy of your webpage on it's servers, then it shouldn't matter the speed of your origin server at all. (Since it's not even going to the origin server to request the page).

I've heard that BunnyCDN is better than Cloudflare free. So, would upgrading to BunnyCDN fix the LCP even if I stay on Ezoic hosting? Or would the hosting actually help? Of none of these?

Thanks!

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
