FCP (First Contentful Paint)
Sitecheck Team
The time until the first text or image is painted on the screen.
FCP (First Contentful Paint) measures when the browser first renders any text or image. It is an early signal of perceived loading speed.
Why it matters: Faster FCP reduces the blank-screen feeling and can improve user trust during load.
Quick tips:
- Inline critical CSS and reduce render-blocking resources.
- Optimize web fonts and use preloading where appropriate.
- Improve server response times.
