What is LCP by operating system
LCP by operating system shows the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) value across different operating systems (e.g. Windows, MacOS, Linux). This lens helps you identify which operating systems deliver a slower experience for your users.
The list shows only operating systems that generated traffic to your website during the selected period.
Common reason for slower LCP on certain operating systems is differences in hardware (Windows has way bigger variety of setups).
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 operating system sample
Should you worry
A healthy LCP by operating system 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 operating system sample
In the example below, LCP by operating system shows that Windows is both the most popular and the slowest operating system. 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 operating system values and suggest improvements.
Use Filters to focus on the slow operating system 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 operating system values.
Once you’ve improved LCP, set an alert to be the first to know if it starts worsening again.
