Largest Contentful Paint (mobile lab)
This guide helps you act on one scan finding. It is not legal advice or a compliance verdict.
What to fix
Shorten mobile Largest Contentful Paint by making the largest above-the-fold element cheap to load.
Step-by-step fix
- Identify the LCP element (usually the hero image, heading block, or slider). In Chrome DevTools Performance or PageSpeed “LCP element” hints, confirm which node wins.
- Serve that image at mobile dimensions, compressed, and preload it with a single <link rel="preload" as="image"> (or the SEO/optimizer plugin’s LCP preload control) — one preload only.
- Inline or prioritize critical CSS for the hero; move non-critical theme CSS to async/defer via your optimizer.
- Remove autoplaying background video from the mobile hero when it is the LCP candidate.

CDN image resize
If Cloudflare Polish/Image Resizing or imgix is on, request a width appropriate for ~412px CSS viewport rather than the full desktop file.
Confirm it is fixed
Re-scan and compare mobile LCP (A-lcp) on the same URL. Treat lab LCP as a directional signal, not a field guarantee.
