LCP

Abbreviation for Largest Contentful Paint

In short and in plain language

LCP is a measure of how long a web page takes to load.

It is part of a group of key measures for web pages.

It checks when the largest part you can see shows up. This may be a big main image or a heading.

If the value is slow, relatives or job seekers may leave too soon. The page has then not fully loaded.

Definition
