An updated overview of image loading optimization methods to improve LCP.

I guess the point I’m making in a way here is that I could never win a “dev race” because it takes me ages to even get to the point of writing code and that’s been the case for a lot of years now. The benefit to being like this though is I get to put out fires before they even start.

In short, we wanted our list of top web performance recommendations to focus on:

• Recommendations we believe will have the largest real-world impact
• Recommendations that are relevant and applicable to most sites
• Recommendations that are realistic for most developers to implement

Priority Hints are used to indicate to the browser the relative priority of a resource. I take a deep dive into how you can improve your Largest Contentful Paint by using fetchpriority.

Designing, developing or leading a web project (or an app) have inherent constraints, and adding to them might take time and resources you do not have. On the other hand, avoiding non-quality can bring you much in lost revenue through better position on search engines, better compatibility, speed and accessibility leading to a lesser quit rate, or better word-of-mouth following great after-sale service.

A tree view (collapsible list) can be created using only html and css, without the need for JavaScript. Accessibility software will see the tree view as lists nested inside disclosure widgets, and the standard keyboard interaction is supported automatically.

For technical teams I advise to additionally track LCP(FE), or the Front End Component of LCP.

If nothing else, my hope is that this post helped shed some light on the fact that LCP is, by its very nature, a dynamic metric that is heavily dependent on user behavior. You can’t always know ahead of time what the LCP element is going to be for a given page, so it’s important that your optimization techniques can handle a range of possible outcomes, and adapt accordingly.

When measuring web performance, we often try to get a single number that we can trend over time. This may be the median page load time, hero image time, page speed score, or core web vitals score. But is it really that simple?

– Collect user errors
– Normalize & De-duplicate
– Cluster similar errors
– Measure User Impact
– Handle Script Error

When it comes to error handling, it truly is a team sport

Creating a performance story can only start with the data. Having a better understanding of your app’s state and continuously measuring and monitoring it is key to making sure you can ship the most impactful results to your users.
