    Yes this is a very common (and very measurable) improvement pattern for LCP, especially on content-heavy pages where the hero image is the LCP element.

    On pages like Dubai Brief, what you ran into is classic “discovered too late” LCP behavior: the browser can’t start fetching the hero image early because it’s hidden behind CSS/DOM rendering or deprioritized by lazy-loading logic. So even if the image is lightweight, it arrives late in the critical rendering path. https://www.mymilestonecard.io
