Why it matters

The largest thing on the screen has to be found, fetched, and painted in the right order. One late hint can make the whole page feel asleep.

How it works

FixWeb reads the Lighthouse-version-specific LCP insight audits, keeps the observed element and evidence, and falls back to older audit names only when those are present.

Site impact

A lazy, undiscoverable, low-priority, or server-delayed LCP image can hold back the first useful view on a phone.

How FixWeb tests for it

The adapter is keyed to the Lighthouse version and does not invent image diagnoses when the response shape or observed element is unknown. Eager, high-priority HTML images pass even without a preload.

How to improve

Keep the LCP element in initial HTML, use preload only when discovery evidence supports it, keep the image eager, and reserve high priority for the first view.
