What is LCP by bounce page

LCP by bounce page shows how the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) values for pages where users bounced - meaning they landed on the page but didn’t continue browsing the site.

This lens helps you identify which pages deliver a slow first impression, leading to higher bounce rates and lost opportunities for engagement or conversion.

It only includes pages that had measurable traffic and a bounce event during the selected period.

Slow LCP on bounce pages is a strong signal that users are not getting a fast or engaging experience upfront, often leaving before the site even has a chance to show its value.



Healthy LCP by bounce page sample


Should you worry

A healthy LCP by bounce page lens shows green across the board - meaning that even when users leave after visiting a single page, the page itself still loads quickly.

This indicates the bounce may be intentional (e.g., users got what they came for quickly) rather than performance-related. Fast bounce pages help preserve SEO, reduce user frustration, and increase the chances of return visits.

Unhealthy LCP by bounce page sample

If LCP by bounce page shows red or yellow status, especially on high-traffic entry points, this often signals a strong correlation between slow load times and users abandoning the site immediately.

This could be caused by:

  • Heavy third-party scripts (ads, tracking, consent banners).

  • Large hero images or above-the-fold videos delaying load.

  • Delayed server response or unnecessary redirects on landing.

Addressing these issues can dramatically reduce bounce rates and turn underperforming pages into entry points for deeper user journeys.

Resolving unhealthy LCP by bounce page

Go-to action plan to resolve an unhealthy LCP by bounce page:

  1. Ask Uxi to analyze your LCP by bounce page values and suggest improvements.

  2. Use Filters to zoom in on the slowest bounce pages, then cross-reference other LCP lenses (like device or navigation type) to identify what’s slowing them down.

  3. Simulate LCP of the suspected lens to see if fixing it will resolve the slow LCP by bounce page. If yes, this is where the resolution focus should be.

  4. Use an automated LCP optimization tool like Navigation AI to improve your LCP by bounce page.

  5. Once you’ve improved LCP, set an alert to be the first to know if it starts worsening again.
