LCP and server response
Slow origin response can delay the start of rendering and therefore contribute to poor Largest Contentful Paint. But image size, render-blocking CSS and client-side work often dominate later stages.
INP is mostly interaction work
Interaction to Next Paint is strongly affected by main-thread JavaScript and application behavior in the browser. A larger server will not remove an expensive click handler.
CLS is layout behavior
Cumulative Layout Shift is usually caused by unsized media, injected content, font behavior and layout changes—not server capacity.
