Performance and UX

FCP

Also known as: First Contentful Paint

When the first content, such as text or an image, appears in the page view.

A practical example

The browser shows a heading before other elements finish loading.

What should I know?

The first content is not necessarily the main information the customer wants.

Performance and UX in practice

Assess real users' experiences on their devices. Lab tests help identify causes, while user data shows the scale of a problem. A good website also makes information easy to find and tasks easy to complete.
