Tested 1000's of URL's in Google PSI - all are Green 90%+. However , in Google webmaster tools = 0 GOOD URLS. Can someone please explain what Google requires and what we can do to pass core web vitals before JUNE ? We've spent months optimising everything and cannot further optimise but Google says that NONE of our URL's pass core web vitals...it's just ridiculous.
Looking at your website's report in the CrUX Dashboard, there are a couple of things you could optimize more:
First, your site's LCP is right on the edge of having 75% good desktop experiences, and phone experiences are below that at 66% good. https://web.dev/optimize-lcp/ has some great tips for addressing LCP issues.
Second, while your site's desktop FID experiences are overwhelmingly good (98%), you do seem to have a significant issue for phone users (only 44% good). There are similarly great tips in the https://web.dev/optimize-fid/ article.
While the big green "98" score on PSI makes it look like the page is nearly perfect, what matters most in terms of the user experience is real field data. That information can be found in the "Field Data" and "Origin Summary" sections of the report.
You mentioned in the comments that your server response time is an issue. I can confirm this with lab testing:
https://webpagetest.org/graph_page_data.php?tests=210506_AiDcJ0_0283e8c51814788904bdf19cebe7a5c8&medianMetric=TTFB&fv=1&median_run=1&zero_start=true&control=NOSTAT#TTFB

The long light blue bar on line 1 of the chart above shows how long it takes your server to respond to the request. In this case the time to first byte (TTFB) is 1.132 seconds. This is going to be a huge problem for most users to achieve a fast LCP because in these tests it takes 1.9 seconds just to get the HTML to the client. No amount of frontend optimizations can make the HTML arrive sooner than that. You need to focus on backend optimizations to get the TTFB down.
I can't give you any specific hosting recommendations but it does seem like the shared hosting is adversely affecting your users' LCP performance.
