Talk details:
Since Google announced their Core Web Vitals (CWV) initiative, being fast is more important than ever. However, despite being by far the easiest CWV to monitor, debug, and optimise—in both the lab and field—Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) is still the one that most websites struggle with.
In this very practical talk, we’ll look at what exactly comprises LCP, how we might be working against ourselves, and how to make opportunistic optimisations to get ourselves back in the green (and beyond).
And even if none of those terms meant anything to you, don’t worry! You’ll leave this talk fully equipped to go back to your own project and clients and make all the improvements they’ll need. Get ready to ask for a pay rise.
