Can you post more details from the inspector/debugging? Also, which theme are you using, is it a custom one or one of the themes provided by Discourse core?
I’m coming back to say that my INP dropped from 547 to 227 after the 28 days period. The changes I made include switching back to the default theme (foundation), disabling some plugins and components, and moving the VPS to a country closer to my users.
Cool, thanks for following up. Do you have a sense on whether one of those steps help more than the others? Switching theme vs disabling plugins/components vs moving closer to your users?
Another update: I’m currently at 173 inp now. I think what really helped the most was disabling unofficial plugins and themes. I had already done other tests using different VPS locations and providers. I even tried using Bunny CDN and tested the full-site CDN configuration for a month, but nothing worked.
