What is LCP by pageview type
LCP by pageview type shows the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) value across two different pageview types:
First in session pageviews - these are first page views of each user session
Subsequent in session pageviews - all other pageviews in the user session
This lens helps you identify whether your users have a good first impression of your site, and how does their experience differs on their first pageview vs. subsequent pageviews.
The list shows only data from pageviews on your website during the selected period.
Common reasons for slower LCP on First in session pageviews include redirects from third parties, missing page cache or resource cache, DNS lookup, establishment of initial connection, server time required for session initialization.
LCP is the most popular vital from the Core Web Vitals and represents the loading time of the largest element on the page.

Should you worry
A healthy LCP by pageview type lens looks all green. A pageview type may be greener than another, but as long as there's no yellow or red, it’s considered healthy. The greener the pageview type, the better.
