Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)

LCP is a key website speed metric that measures how quickly the largest content element becomes visible in the browser. This could be an image, video, or block of text that loads first on your screen. As part of Google’s Core Web Vitals, LCP impacts search rankings and user experience. A good LCP score means your main content loads within 2.5 seconds of opening a webpage.
