What is LCP by competitor

LCP by competitor shows how your website’s Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) compares to key competitors in your industry. It provides an at-a-glance view of whether you're delivering a faster, equal, or slower loading experience relative to others fighting for the same users.

This view helps you move beyond internal benchmarks and understand how your performance stacks up in the eyes of users - and search engines.



Healthy LCP by competitor sample


Should you worry

A healthy view shows your LCP performing at the same level or better than your competitors.

If your values are greener or equally green across the chart, it signals that your loading speed is not a competitive disadvantage — and may even be a performance differentiator helping you win user trust, engagement, and conversions.

Unhealthy LCP by competitor sample

When your LCP lags behind competitors, it’s a red flag.

You may see your site loading over 1 second slower than similar brands. This difference might be caused by:

  • More complex layout or heavier design.

  • Additional tracking or personalization.

  • Outdated caching or server configurations.

  • Lack of preloading or speculative loading.

Even if your internal benchmarks look "fine," slow relative performance will hurt user perception and conversions.

Resolving unhealthy LCP by competitor

Go-to action plan to resolve an unhealthy LCP by competitor:

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

  2. Use Filters o isolate key templates or device types where you’re falling behind.

  3. Simulate LCP of the suspected lens to see if fixing it will resolve the slow LCP by competitor. 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 competitor.

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