FCP (First Contentful Paint) marks the moment when the first bit of content shows up on the page, be it text, an image, or an SVG icon. It is not part of Core Web Vitals, but as a supporting metric it tells you whether your site 'comes to life' quickly enough. Google recommends staying under 1.8 seconds.
