href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/google-page-experience\/\">Google Page Experience<\/a> algorithm that will begin factoring into rankings in May 2021 \u2014 and for good reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pagespeed is always top of mind at Mediavine, but with this Google change on the horizon, it should be a priority for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To that end, we&#8217;re here to break down all of Google&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/google-page-experience-signals-coming-may-2021\/\">pagespeed ranking signals<\/a> \u2014 old and new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we&#8217;re tackling Largest Contentful Paint, one of Google\u2019s three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/google-announces-core-web-vitals-change\/\">Core Web Vitals<\/a> that determine Page Experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-largest-contentful-paint\">What is Largest Contentful Paint?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) is word salad, that&#8217;s for sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s defined as how long the largest piece of content in the first screen view of a web page takes to &#8220;draw&#8221; and is measured in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s try that again in more human terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we often say, pagespeed is the highest priority but it&#8217;s also a relatively subjective term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you determine if a page is fast?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Google\u2019s opinion (and Mediavine\u2019s), what matters is that a site feels fast for the user, not a pagespeed score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google has always measured pagespeed based on how fast a page loads in the initial screen view on a mobile phone or whatever is showing in your desktop browser before you begin to scroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First impressions are everything, as the saying goes, but LCP represents a change from how this has traditionally been assessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, Google measured pagespeed by how long the First Contentful Paint (FCP), or the first piece of content, took to render.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they later concluded that this wasn\u2019t the most useful. As a user, do you only want part of the first screen view to render? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, and therefore Google adjusted accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, LCP measures how long it takes for the biggest element in that screen \u2014 measured by its height in pixels \u2014 to load. In practical terms, if you have a big logo or large photo in the first screen view, that\u2019s most likely going to be the largest element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a wall of text, then it\u2019s going to be that. Google&#8217;s goal with LCP is to measure whatever your users are most likely going to notice first as a page is loading. Whatever will feel like the page is ready for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-02-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"graphic pointing at largest content on a site\" class=\"wp-image-29118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-02-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-02-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-02-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-02-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-02-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-02-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-02-375x250.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-02-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-02-555x370.jpg 555w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-02-344x229.jpg 344w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-02-281x187.jpg 281w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-02-335x223.jpg 335w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-02-347x231.jpg 347w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-02-520x347.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-02-640x427.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-you-measure-lcp\">How Do You Measure LCP?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/cls-solving-for-cumulative-layout-shift\/\">Cumulative Layout Shift<\/a>, measuring LCP is fairly simple. No Chrome extensions are required; just the handy PageSpeed Insights tool and potentially a little bit of Google Search Console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you run a particular webpage through PageSpeed Insights, there will be a section called \u201cLab Data.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lab Data is what PageSpeed Insights detects when running on your site and performing a simulation of a user viewing your page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: You\u2019ll want to run PageSpeed Insights on individual blog posts or pages, not just your homepage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you go through your top posts (we suggest you start with those), you\u2019ll likely see varying LCP scores. You&#8217;ll also want to check both tabs \u2014 mobile and desktop \u2014 because those results will also differ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both have the same goal, though: making sure your Largest Contentful Paint (object) renders <strong>within 2.5 seconds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also want to check the Origin Summary which shows how your overall domain is performing for LCP in the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-890x1024.jpg\" alt=\"LCP score on pagespeed insights\" class=\"wp-image-29120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-890x1024.jpg 890w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-278x320.jpg 278w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-768x884.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-1334x1536.jpg 1334w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-1779x2048.jpg 1779w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-1170x1347.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-375x432.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-800x921.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-321x370.jpg 321w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-199x229.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-162x187.jpg 162w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-291x335.jpg 291w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-301x347.jpg 301w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-452x520.jpg 452w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-556x640.jpg 556w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-04-667x768.jpg 667w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>How long does it take the average reader browsing your website with Chrome to see your LCP? This is how you find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even better: If you\u2019re browsing a page with enough traffic, such as your homepage, you might also see Field Data which shows you how that particular page is doing with real world traffic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This real world usage, as reported by Field Data and Origin Summary, will also appear in Google Search Console and is the best representation of what Google will use in its ranking algorithm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to use PageSpeed Insights Lab Data to help you debug given that it&#8217;s using real-time information. Keep in mind though that Origin Summary and Field Data are only showing you a 30-day average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, immediate actions may take time to show results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that you can use Chrome Developer Tools and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/lighthouse-version-6-changes-whats-new-for-content-creators\/\">Lighthouse<\/a>, the tool which powers PageSpeed Insights, in order to measure the same lab results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-you-optimize-for-lcp\">How Do You Optimize For LCP?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing how to measure your Largest Contentful Paint is great, but what do you do about it if you&#8217;re not already perfect?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(As much as we love you, most likely, you&#8217;re not.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll probably see a fair number of posts failing in Google Search Console and\/or by playing around with PageSpeed Insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you fix this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we will refer you to all previous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/mediavines-pagespeed-resources\/\">Mediavine pagespeed resources<\/a> and advice because there&#8217;s lots of generally helpful guidance there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More specifically, we recommend a third-party JavaScript and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/how-to-do-a-plugin-self-audit\/\">plugin audit<\/a> to see what&#8217;s slowing your site down and how badly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll also need a well-optimized theme (say, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/products\/trellis\/\">Trellis<\/a> by Mediavine), plus optimized plugins (or a theme that does it for you &#8230; have we introduced you to this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/introducing-trellis\/\">Trellis<\/a> thing everyone&#8217;s been talking about?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the usual speed tricks, mastering LCP has a much less technical, easier component that any publisher can take on: Change your post formatting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pagespeed tips vary widely in terms of how complex they are and how technical you need to get, but optimizing for LCP is pretty simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assuming your theme is well-designed, your content is going to be what impacts LCP most and no one knows that better than you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember what LCP is measuring: How long does your largest piece of content take to load. How can you speed that up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-optimizing-lcp-with-content\">Optimizing LCP with Content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You guessed it: Improving the time it takes your largest piece of content to load can be as easy as changing up that content!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most effective strategy for optimizing for LCP is very similar to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/above-the-fold-seo\/\">Above the Fold SEO<\/a> advice \u2014 lead with text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your first screen view of content on a phone is all text, which therefore pushes the first image below the fold, that&#8217;s going to mean lightning-fast load times for users \u2014 and passing LCP scores to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for how much text you need to accomplish this, we generally say that 3-4 paragraphs of text should have you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re following our advice \u2014 using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/shorter-sentences-and-paragraphs-for-larger-rpms\/\">shorter sentences and paragraphs<\/a> (e.g. pressing the Enter key early and often), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/increase-font-size-and-increase-seo-rpm-along-with-it\/\">increasing font size<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/increase-your-line-height-and-improve-rpm-and-readability\/\">line height<\/a> to optimize for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/what-is-website-accessibility\/\">accessibility<\/a> \u2014 it shouldn&#8217;t take more than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We love it when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/what-is-seo-introducing-the-mediavine-search-engine-optimization-series\/\">SEO<\/a>, accessibility and pagespeed come together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-03-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"first screen load shows all text, image on the next one\" class=\"wp-image-29119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-03-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-03-320x200.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-03-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-03-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-03-2048x1280.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-03-1170x731.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-03-375x234.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-03-800x500.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-03-569x356.jpg 569w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-03-353x221.jpg 353w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-03-288x180.jpg 288w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-03-335x209.jpg 335w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-03-347x217.jpg 347w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-03-520x325.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LCP-03-640x400.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-system-web-safe-fonts\">System \/ Web Safe Fonts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One important caveat to all this: Before your text can display, you still have to wait for whatever font you&#8217;re using to load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While faster than an image for sure, it still won\u2019t be instantaneous if you&#8217;re using something like Google Fonts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why with Trellis, we recommend that publishers stick to System fonts and Web Safe fonts whenever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re running System fonts, a well optimized theme, start with text and push images down, you\u2019ll pass LCP with flying colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mastering LCP, along with its fellow metrics CLS and FID, will place you among the elite percentage of publishers passing Core Web Vitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can do this, and we&#8217;re here to help every step of the way. Together, we can be excited for \u2014 and not scared of \u2014 the May Page Experience algorithm.<\/p>\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding
