What it means
LCP measures how long it takes for the main thing on a page to appear. In normal terms, it is one small part of how Google and people understand your site.
Why it matters
If the main image or headline takes too long, the page feels slow. Google recommends keeping LCP under 2.5 seconds.
What to do about it
Compress the main image, avoid oversized hero videos, reduce blocking scripts and make sure your server responds quickly.
