Web Core Vitals - scores wildly fluctuate?
-
I have run lighthouse reports multiple times today, and they have bounced up and down 20 points within hours of each other. A coworker ran hist test that returned a 90 while I scored a 68, my next test was an 88? Is this a common issue. I can understand a few points, but this is insanity!

It's not that crazy, basically every time you refresh a page certain things could happen. For example, when you load an ad server on your page it could be that it needs more redirects that time in order to get the right ad. That would potentially lower the score in Lighthouse.
I'd take an average usually and mainly look at making improvements and with that providing insight on how you're trending in Lighthouse. It also often makes sense to spot-check things after bigger changes and deploys.

Would Renaming or HIding Posts With the Same Title Reduce My Spam Score?
On my blog (which is about writing), I have a recurring monthly feature where we all share excerpts of our work in progress. The title is always the same: "WIP Wednesday – Share What YOU Are Up To!" I've been doing this on the blog for about 4 years. Is the recurring title giving me a higher spam score? If so, will it help if I add the date on the end, as I've started to do? " WIP Wednesday – Share What YOU Are Up To! January 2020" etc.? Or would it help if I made all the posts from before 2020 private? Or does this actually have nothing to do with my spam score (which is 9%, and I'd like to bring it down)? Thanks!

Implementing Schema.org on a web page
Hi all, As we know, implementing Schema doesn't change the look & feel of a web page for the users. So here is my Question.. Could we implement Schema markup on the web pages only for Bots (but not visible to users in a Source code) so that page load time doesn't increase?
