LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) answers the question "how fast does the main content load?" Google counts it as one of the three Core Web Vitals and sets the passing threshold at 2.5 seconds. Anything slower and the reader starts drumming their fingers.
At PageSpeed.ONE we track LCP daily across every monitored domain. Below you will find our articles on what slows LCP down most often (images, web fonts, a sluggish backend) and how to get under the threshold without rewriting the whole site.
“Domains” Report
The “Domains” report showcases the speed status of measured domains. It is the most critical report concerning the overall speed development of the website.
AVIF Images: Up to 40% Data Savings Compared to WebP
The AVIF format offers even better compression than WebP. Let’s explore when it makes sense to use it and how to implement a fallback for older browsers.
How to Find the LCP Element?
To optimize LCP, it is crucial to identify the "LCP element," which is the largest element within the visible part of the browser.
Image Optimization: When Milliseconds Decide Between Kilobytes and Pixels
Even you, mere mortals, can tame your images and make them work for you, not against you. Just use WebP or AVIF, compress well, and don’t forget about lazy loading.
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) Metric: A Guide to Faster Web Loading
The world of the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) metric is akin to the thrill of a high-speed racetrack—it’s an endless race against time.
Lazy Loading Images: A Detailed Guide to Improving LCP
We recommend lazy loading images and other elements as one of the fundamental and highly effective methods for optimizing page load speed. Conservatively defer loading all images outside the first viewport. Be cautious when applying lazy loading to images that are the LCP element, as this can actually worsen speed.

Join us as we explore common issues with the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) metric and how to optimize it most effectively.
Speed Optimization: How Can the Backend Help?
The backend plays a crucial role in website speed optimization, as proper code and server-side optimization can eliminate delays often caused during request processing and content delivery.
WebP Images: Saving Precious Kilobytes
Website loading speed often hinges on seconds. The WebP image format might be your secret weapon for saving kilobytes and edging closer to perfect performance.
