Term in plain language

LCP

A metric measuring the time until the largest visible content element renders in the viewport.

01

What it means

It indicates when the main large text block, banner or image becomes visible after the visitor opens the page.

02

Why it matters

A slow LCP means the main content remains hidden because of server time, images, fonts or render-blocking resources.

03

Example

The hero image is compressed, dimensioned and loaded without lazy delay to improve LCP.
