What is LCP by user type
LCP by user type shows the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) value across different user types (e.g. First-time visitor, Returning visitor). This lens helps you identify which user types deliver a slower experience for your users.
The list shows only user types that generated traffic to your website during the selected period.
Common reason for slower LCP on certain user types like first-time visitor is that they can't benefit from cached assets such as images, JavaScript files, and CSS.
LCP is the most popular vital from the Core Web Vitals and represents the loading time of the largest element on the page.
Healthy LCP by user type sample
Should you worry
A healthy LCP by user type lens looks all green. Some user types may be greener than others, but as long as there's no yellow or red, it’s considered healthy. The greener the user type, the better.
Unhealthy LCP by user type sample
In the example below, LCP by user type shows that first-time visitors are struggling with bad LCP. This often leads to a higher bounce rate, more exits, and lower conversion rates.
Resolving unhealthy LCP by user-type
Go-to action plan to resolve an unhealthy LCP by user-type:
Ask Uxi to analyze your LCP by user type values and suggest improvements.
Use Filters to focus on the slow user type in your LCP by user, 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 slow LCP by device. If yes, this is where the resolution focus should be.
Use an automated LCP optimization tool like Navigation AI to improve your LCP by user type values.
Once you’ve improved LCP, set an alert to be the first to know if it starts worsening again.
