The time it takes for the largest above-the-fold element to render.
LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) measures how long it takes for the largest visible element in the viewport to render. It is a Core Web Vitals metric focused on perceived load speed.
Why it matters: Slow LCP makes pages feel sluggish and is used in search ranking considerations.
Quick tips:
- Optimize images and hero media.
- Reduce render-blocking CSS and JavaScript.
- Improve server response times and TTFB.
