What is LCP by click behavior
LCP by click behavior shows how the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) differs between sessions where users interacted with the page (clicked) versus those where they didn’t (non-clicked).
This lens helps you understand the connection between performance and engagement. A fast LCP usually signals a smooth experience that encourages users to explore further - and click. A slow LCP often results in no interaction at all.
Healthy LCP by click behavior sample
Should you worry
In a healthy state:
Clicked sessions dominate - users are engaging, and LCP is fast enough not to interrupt that flow
Non-clicked sessions still show decent LCP, indicating that users at least saw the content
There's a clear performance-to-engagement link - fast LCP = more clicks
This is what you want: a responsive experience that loads quickly, grabs attention, and invites action.
Unhealthy LCP by click behavior sample
If non-clicked sessions show slower LCP:
Users are likely leaving before the page finishes rendering
The largest content might be loading too late to hold attention
First impressions suffer, and visitors bounce without ever interacting
A high volume of non-clicked sessions with slow LCP is a sign your site may not even be getting a chance to convert.
If clicked sessions are slower (less common), it might suggest:
Only determined users are pushing through performance issues
Clicked flows might involve heavier visual elements or blocking scripts after the LCP fires
Resolving unhealthy LCP by click behavior
Go-to action plan to resolve an unhealthy LCP by click behavior:
Ask Uxi to analyze your LCP by click behavior values and suggest improvements.
Use Filters to focus on non-clicked visits and find which LCP lenses (device, layout, third-party, etc.) are contributing to slow paints.
Simulate LCP of the suspected lens to see if fixing it will resolve the slow LCP by click behavior. If yes, this is where the resolution focus should be.
Use an automated LCP optimization tool like Navigation AI to improve your LCP by click behavior values.
Once you’ve improved LCP, set an alert to be the first to know if it starts worsening again.
