You\u2019ll learn simple yet effective techniques to enhance user experience, boost Core Web Vitals<\/a>, and improve overall WooCommerce performance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) is one of the most important Core Web Vitals metrics that measure how quickly a web page’s primary content loads or visible in the viewport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LCP element<\/a> might be an image, text block, video, or an animation. It’s deferred from Desktop to Mobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Google\u2019s Web Vitals, a good LCP is under 2.5 seconds on desktop and mobile<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Introduction<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

LCP is a metrics from Core Web Vital that measures the times when the user starts loading the page until the largest image or text block is rendered in the viewport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of parameters impact your site as how quickly the browser load and render the page, and any blockage or any delays across all of them can have considerable effect on LCP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To improve LCP, you need to examine the entire loading process and optimize each stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Largest Contentful Paint is important for giving a fantastic user experience as well as for enhancing your SEO performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optimizing Largest Contentful Paint is complex task ,it is usually preferable to divide it into smaller, more manageable tasks and deal with each one separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakdown Your Site LCP<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Most page loads often involve several network requests, but to find possibilities to enhance LCP, you should first focus on just two of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The initial HTML document<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The LCP resource (if applicable)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"lcp-resources\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Other page requests may have an impact on LCP, but these two requests\u2014more precisely, the times the LCP resource starts and stops\u2014show whether or not your page is LCP-optimized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We have lots of developer tool for identify the LCP element, you can use Chorme Dev Tool, WebpageTest, GTmetrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I mentioned four LCP sub-part<\/strong> that can be used to calculate the LCP value<\/strong> of any page<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"lcp-factors\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    These four sub-parts can be used to calculate the LCP value of any page. There is no overlap or space between them, and when added together, they equal the entire LCP time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Optimizing Your Sub-Parts<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    It’s critical to comprehend the optimum breakdown of these sub-parts on a well-optimized page in order to optimise each LCP sub-part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    LCP Sub-Parts<\/strong><\/td>% of LCP<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
    Time to First Bite ( TTFB ) <\/td>~40%<\/td><\/tr>
    Resource load delay<\/td><10%<\/td><\/tr>
    Resource load time<\/td>~40%<\/td><\/tr>
    Element render delay<\/td><10%<\/td><\/tr>
    Total<\/strong><\/td>100%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    A useful approach to consider how LCP time is broken down is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    1. HTML document and LCP source should be loaded for the great majority of the LCP period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. There is always possibility of improvement whenever one of these two resources is not loaded before LCP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Optimize each part of LCP<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    I mentioned some methods for enhancing Largest Contentful Paint performance and resolving “LCP issue: longer than 2.5s or LCP issue: longer than 4s”, both from mobile and\/or desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Remove delayed load and render-blocking resources from your WordPress woo-commerce site<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Make sure that the LCP resource begins loading as soon as possible is the goal of this stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Although in theory a resource may begin loading right after TTFB, in fact there is always some lag time before browsers begin to load resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    By scanning the HTML document response, the browser can find the LCP resource, in the following conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
