9 documents tagged with “LCP”
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 displays the speed status of measured domains. It is the most crucial report when it comes to the speed development of the entire 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 fallback for older browsers.
How to Identify the LCP Element
To optimize LCP, it is crucial to identify the "LCP element", which is the largest element in the viewport.
Image Optimization: When Milliseconds Make or Break Between Kilobytes and Pixels
Even mere mortals can tame their images and make them work for you, not against you. Just use WebP or AVIF, compress well, and remember lazy loading.
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) Metric: A Guide to Faster Page Loads
The world of the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) metric is akin to the adrenaline-fuelled realm of motor racing – it's a relentless battle against time.
Lazy Loading Images: A Comprehensive Guide to Improving LCP
Lazy loading images and other elements is recommended as one of the fundamental yet highly effective methods for optimizing page load speed. We suggest conservatively deferring the loading of all images outside the first viewport. Be cautious when applying lazy loading to images that are LCP elements, as this can actually worsen speed.
Optimising the LCP Metric
Let us explore the challenges you might face with the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) metric and how to optimise it effectively.
Speed Optimisation: How to Help on the Backend?
The backend plays a crucial role in web speed optimisation, as proper code and server optimisation can eliminate delays often caused by request processing and content delivery.
WebP Images: How to Save Precious Kilobytes
Web loading speed is often a matter of seconds. The WebP image format could be your secret weapon to save kilobytes and achieve optimal performance.
