Can you share more details about those errors that you’re seeing?

It means that my discourse forum has a very bad speed ranking according to Google’s pagespeed metrics:

Since recently page speed has become a very important ranking factor in Google SERP.

[meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org) has a good speed score but all the other sites running discourse i tested have a bad score below 20 for mobile pages.

I think we’ve done some work to improve this recently. Can you make sure your site is up-to-date and test again?
