    Hey folks - The Journey and Grow scripts are fully optimized for page speed, so they shouldn't be the primary culprit when it comes to slower performance. We've seen Journey sites pass core web vitals while running journey ads, so it's likely there's other factors in play that could be impacting performance. 

    We have a post here that covers all things page speed with a great help article that includes why you might see scripts in a GPSI test. 

    I'm going to leave this thread open in case other Journey publishers want to chime in about any performance tips they use to help pass Core Web Vitrals.

Journey is Self Supported

Our support staff is monitoring this forum everyday for bugs related to ad delivery, the display and functionality of the Journey dashboard, and any bugs related to the onboarding process. We are typically unable to assist with non-bug related issues like RPM performance expectations, issues setting up the ads.txt file, and questions already answered by our existing help docs. Read here for a more detailed breakdown of how Journey is self-supported and our recommendations for how to find answers to common issues.
