Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)

Definition

A Core Web Vital measuring how long the largest visible element takes to render. Aim for 2.5s or less.

LCP measures the time from when a page starts loading to when the largest visible content element (often a hero image or heading block) is rendered. A good LCP is 2.5 seconds or less. Common fixes include optimising images, reducing render-blocking resources and improving server response time.
