Whatever the user sees first and orients themselves by. ### Why it matters: If this element appears too late, the page feels empty or "sluggish". Even if everything already works, the impression of a slow site remains. ### Good scores: - up to 2.5 seconds - fine; - 2.6-4 seconds - needs improvement; - more than 4 seconds - bad for SEO and UX. In short: LCP is a measure of how fast a site "comes alive" for the eye.For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator. Helps review go faster.
