What is LCP by checkpoint
The LCP by checkpoint lens breaks down your Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) by major user journey events, called checkpoints. In most cases, checkpoints are automatically populated by Uxify for each site, but they can be edited from the Settings menu if you want to add or remove any. Checkpoints represent crucial steps in the user journey and need to be well-optimized.
LCP is the most popular vital from the Core Web Vitals and represents the loading time of the largest element on the page.
Checkpoints are major touchpoints in a user's journey toward conversion. For example, in e-commerce, these might include pages like landing, product, cart, and checkout. Checkpoints with poor LCP are have high correlation to increased user session exits at that stage.
Healthy LCP by checkpoint sample
Should you worry
A healthy LCP by checkpoint lens looks all green. Some checkpoints may be greener than others, but as long as there's no yellow or red, it’s considered healthy. The greener the checkpoint, the better.
Unhealthy LCP by checkpoint sample
In the example below, the LCP by checkpoint reveals that Product, Collection and Home pages show unhealthy real user LCP values, whereas the Account checkpoint is healthy.
Resolving unhealthy LCP by checkpoint
Go-to action plan to resolve an unhealthy LCP by checkpoint:
Ask Uxi to analyze your LCP by checkpoint values and suggest improvements.
Use Filters to focus on slow segments in your LCP by checkpoint, then look across the other LCP lenses to find which ones show the slowest LCPs with the most pageviews.
Simulate LCP of the suspected lens to see if fixing it will resolve the LCP distribution. If yes, this is where the resolution focus should be.
Use an automated LCP optimization tool like Navigation AI to improve your LCP by checkpoint values.
Once you’ve improved LCP, set an alert to be the first to know if it starts worsening again.
