What is LCP by user pageviews
LCP by user pageviews shows the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) grouped by how many pages a user visited during their session. Starting from single-page visits to longer multi-page journeys.
This lens helps you understand if session depth correlates with faster or slower page loading, and whether performance encourages (or discourages) continued engagement.
This data can uncover patterns like whether slow pages result in early exits - or whether loyal users experience better load performance.
Healthy LCP by user pageviews sample
Should you worry
A healthy LCP by user pageviews distribution often shows:
Better LCPs for sessions with multiple pageviews
A clear improvement from 1-page sessions to 2 or more
Low LCP overall, especially in the 4+ category - suggesting engaged users get the smoothest experience
This pattern suggests your site rewards continued browsing with faster or more optimized loads. Clear sign that your performance strategy scales well with user behavior.
Unhealthy LCP by user pageviews sample
In an unhealthy scenario, LCP for 1-pageview users is high, and doesn't improve much for longer sessions.
This often points to:
Poor initial page performance, which leads to bounces
Heavy homepage or landing pages, often slower than deeper site pages
In some cases, even returning users face delays as session depth increases (e.g. memory pressure, cumulative scripts, or client-side navigation inefficiencies)
Resolving unhealthy LCP by user pageviews
Go-to action plan to resolve an unhealthy LCP by user pageviews:
Ask Uxi to analyze your LCP by user pageviews values and suggest improvements.
Use Filters to identify which landing pages are contributing to slow pageview sessions.
Simulate LCP of the suspected lens to see if fixing it will resolve the slow LCP by user pageviews. 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 pageviews values.
Once you’ve improved LCP, set an alert to be the first to know if it starts worsening again.
