Changes you make today to improve your Google PageSpeed insights report will take 30 days to reflect in the FCP and DCL scores. Even though Optimization scores improve immediately following changes to your website, the FCP and DCL are calculated using crowdsourced data over a 30 day period from the Google Chrome User Experience Report (crUX). This data is calculated in a rolling 30 days. For example, if your FCP speed after you made site changes is averaging 1.1 seconds, but before you made the changes it was averaging 11.1 seconds, the score will average the times together until 30 days have passed. Lets say 15 days from now you check your website, the FCP score will be about 5.1 seconds. Once 30 days have passed your FCP average will be 100% reflective of the changes you made 30 days before.
