LCP

Largest Contentful Paint

A web performance metric that measures the loading speed of a web page. LCP is a Core Web Vitals metric, which is a set of performance metrics that Google uses to evaluate the user experience of a web page.

LCP measures the time it takes for the largest content element on a web page to load and become visible to the user. This can include images, videos, or other types of media. LCP is important because it provides a measure of how quickly users can access the most important content on a page, and is closely linked to user engagement and satisfaction.

According to Google, an LCP of 2.5 seconds or faster is considered good, while an LCP of 4 seconds or longer is considered poor. Websites that have a slow LCP may experience higher bounce rates and lower engagement, which can negatively impact their search engine rankings and overall performance.

To improve LCP, website owners can take a number of steps, such as optimizing images and videos, reducing server response times, and minimizing render-blocking resources. By improving LCP, website owners can provide a faster and more engaging user experience, and improve the overall performance of their website.
