List of Reasons for Poor LCP, How to Optimize in Magento 2 ➔ The LCP metric is used to determine how long it takes for a page’s largest above-the-fold element to appear within the viewport ➔ This is usually an image such as a banner, a carousel, a video, or a product image ➔ Magento merchants should strive for a Largest Contentful Paint of 2.5 seconds or less to deliver a better user experience. ➔ Anything between 2.5 seconds to 4.0 seconds needs improvement and any LCP loading speed above 4.0 seconds is poor The following are the most prevalent causes of a poor LCP for Magento stores: ➔ Slow Server Response Time ➔ Rendering-blocking JavaScript and CSS ➔ Slow resource loading Times ➔ Client-side Rendering www.vihadigitalcommerce.com
● Server response times are slow: ➔ Even if other resources are optimized but your server is slow then it will be difficult for you to score high at search engines ➔ The problem could be caused by bad web hosting, a lack of cache, unoptimized database queries, or API replies that are just taking too long to process ● JavaScript and CSS are rendering-blocking: ➔ If you just keep on adding new plugins to your website or choosing a heavily designed theme, you might need to reconsider them ➔ The loading of a web page’s main content may be delayed by JS and CSS files in your Magento store. Usually, such files size is larger and so it takes more time to load ● Slow loading of diverse resources of the web page: ➔ LCP performance may suffer as a result of the time it takes to load images, videos, text blocks, and other resources of your Magento store ➔ Large images and videos need to be optimized for optimizing the LCP of your Magento store www.vihadigitalcommerce.com
★ ★ How to optimize LCP in Magento: In terms of Largest Contentful Paint, we can use one of the following tools to determine it: ➔ Page Speed Insights ➔ Chrome User Experience Report ➔ Search Console (Core Web Vitals report) ➔ Webpage Test ➔ web-vitals JavaScript library ● Optimize Server response time You can improve your TTFT BY ➔ Upgrade your server infrastructure. ➔ Analyze and improve the efficiency of your back-end code ➔ Route users to a nearby CDN ➔ Enable caching ➔ Configure Nginx www.vihadigitalcommerce.com
● Reduce Java-script Blocking Time: This can be accomplished by using the following techniques: ➔ Moving JS files to the bottom of the <body> ➔ Using JS bundling ➔ Deferring non-critical JavaScripts ➔ Moving inline scripts to an external JS file ● Avoid Using Lazy Loading for Above-the-Fold Images: Excluding the LCP element from lazy load can make your LCP score low. So it is recommended to optimize the size of the largest image utilizing standard <img> or <picture> tag. ● Image Optimization and Compression ➔ Remove unnecessary images from above-the-fold ➔ Compress images, so they load faster. ➔ Switch to modern image file formats. ➔ Use an image CDN www.vihadigitalcommerce.com
● Optimize CSS: There is no need to switch to development mode as you can easily merge and minify CSS files from the production model. It can be done by typing the following commands: ➔ php bin/magento config:set dev/css/merge_css_files 1 ➔ php bin/magento config:set dev/css/minify_files 1 ● Replace Google Fonts with System Fonts: ➔ When you download Google fonts, the entire layout gets repainted ➔ This repaint lengthens the time it takes LCP to load ➔ It is preferable to use system fonts such as Helvetica or Arial for optimizing the Magento store speed ● Turn a Logo & Icon Fonts In into SVG: ➔ As long as SVG components are not required to compute Largest Contentful Paint, switching the logo and icon fonts to SVG avoids an unnecessary request ➔ Furthermore, converting these online elements to SVG may considerably increase your Cumulative Layout Shift score www.vihadigitalcommerce.com
