Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)

Measures the time until the largest content element is painted.

What is this check?

LCP is a Core Web Vital metric that measures how long it takes for the largest content element (e.g., a large image, a block of text) to become visible within the viewport.

Why is it important?

It's designed to measure a page's perceived loading speed. It marks the point when the main content of the page has likely loaded, making it feel complete to the user.

What is the impact?

LCP is a direct ranking factor. A poor LCP score will negatively impact your SEO and indicates a slow-loading page.
