Slow LCP

Slow Largest Contentful Paint signals poor perceived speed and often hurts both rankings and conversion.

Why it matters

SEO and GEO impact

LCP is one of the clearest user-experience metrics Google uses to evaluate page performance. Slow responses also reduce completion rates for product pages and tool flows.

Common symptoms

  • Hero images, videos, or JS-heavy sections delay above-the-fold rendering.
  • Server response times exceed acceptable thresholds.
  • Mobile users bounce before the page becomes usable.

How to fix it

  • Compress and preload the primary above-the-fold asset.
  • Reduce render-blocking scripts and unused CSS.
  • Use CDN caching and optimize TTFB for pages with slow responses.
