How To Fix Largest Contentful Issues With Subpart Analysis

The largest contentful paint (LCP) measures how quickly a website loads from a visitor's perspective and impacts user experience and search engine ranking.
To fix LCP issues, Google introduced LCP subparts to identify load delays, and this data is now available in Chrome UX Report.
The LCP subparts include Time to First Byte (TTFB), Resource Load Delay, Resource Load Time, and Element Render Delay.
DebugBear's website speed test can help measure LCP subparts' contributions to overall LCP scores.
Optimizing TTFB involves speeding up server responses or caching HTML content to improve website speed.
Resource Load Delay can be reduced by using native image loading attributes instead of libraries like lazysize.js.
Resource Load Duration is affected by image download speed, format, and proper sizing.
Element Render Delay can be caused by render-blocking scripts or preloading images, impacting overall website speed.
Real User CrUX data now includes LCP subpart details to provide insights into optimizing LCP scores for actual visitors.
Tracking LCP subparts through real user monitoring tools like DebugBear helps in improving website speed over time.

How To Fix Largest Contentful Paint Issues With Subpart Analysis

The Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) metric in Core Web Vitals assesses a website's loading speed, impacting user experience and search engine rankings.
To address LCP issues effectively, Google introduced LCP subparts, allowing analysis of page load delays through components like TTFB and image load times.
LCP subparts divide the metric into Time to First Byte, Resource Load Delay, Resource Load Time, and Element Render Delay, providing insights for optimization.
DebugBear's website speed test helps measure LCP subparts' contributions to the overall LCP score.
Optimizing Time to First Byte involves speeding up server response or caching HTML for faster page generation.
Resource Load Delay may occur due to lazy loading techniques, which can be improved by using native lazy loading attributes instead of libraries.
The Load Duration subpart focuses on downloading the LCP image efficiently, recommending modern image formats and proper image sizing for optimization.
Element Render Delay, the final LCP component, addresses delays in displaying content, often influenced by render-blocking scripts and preloading strategies.
Google's inclusion of LCP subpart data in CrUX reports offers valuable insights into real user experiences and optimization opportunities.
Real-user monitoring tools like DebugBear help track LCP scores across website pages, providing detailed insights into visitor experiences and subpart timings.
