There's a new issue I'm facing right now and it's about the LCP. On Google Search Console, all my webstories are marked as "Needs Improvement" and since the time this notificaiton shot up, my web stories traffic has gone down from 40k-50k to almost 0. I've checked the other aspects like google webstories guidelines etc and I don't think I have any policy violations. There are no AMP errors. This LCP being high (3.2s) is the only point that seems to be a hindrance. Unfortunately I am unable to find any solution unless the developers have something to suggest. Hi, is there no support available for this plugin anymore? Thanks. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4329f78a10b412245861b4e99d22ee6b47fe66f9a67ff462a6bd0e4138f095da? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-want-to-rollback-to-previous-version/)󠁿 [Sandeep Jinagal](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sandeepjinagal/) February 6, 2022 . ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2a7af079668b70a0ae924fbae3788dd25234bc8d0910f17c2159ad00f9a33313? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great support!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-support-3795/)󠁿 [sb12759](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sb12759/) September 7, 2021 Great support from Pratik! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9f3a8978a0f2a4673296437e4f7a95bdbc365e755c04cc22bf56e2a3fbb141bd? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Product of the future!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/product-of-the-future/)󠁿 [evergreendigital](https://profiles.wordpress.org/evergreendigital/) April 9, 2021 If you're not up on how popular stories are, you're sleeping!

And the results speak for themselves. Thanks MakeStories!

Google may not care as long as people craft Google web stories any which way they can. Makestories is utterly enjoyable to work with, it just needs a bit more documentation. However, wonder where my story actually sits and what happens to my content.
