What is LCP by bounce type

LCP by bounce rate lens compares Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) across sessions that ended immediately (bounces) and those that continued beyond the first page.

LCP measures how long it takes the largest visible element — like a hero image or product title — to load on screen.

Should you worry

In a healthy setup, bounced and non-bounced pageviews show similarly low LCP values. This consistency means that page load speed isn’t contributing to users exiting after the first view.

When LCP is noticeably higher for BR sessions, it suggests that performance is hurting first impressions — especially on landing pages.

Resolving unhealthy LCP by bounce rate

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

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

  2. Use Filters to narrow down bounce-heavy URLs or devices and evaluate their performance.

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

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