What is PLS by checkout
PLS by checkout captures how fast the checkout funnel point feels to users. PLS (Perceived Load Speed) verifies that all meaningful elements appear quickly enough to inspire confidence.
Healthy PLS by checkout
Should you worry
In a healthy view, checkout feels ready almost instantly — forms, totals, trust badges, and CTAs appear without hesitation.
Unhealthy PLS by checkout sample
If PLS is high, users may be staring at incomplete UI (empty panels, late images, placeholder totals), reducing confidence even if the page is technically “loaded”.
Resolving unhealthy PLS by checkout
Go-to action plan to resolve an unhealthy PLS by checkout:
Ask Uxi to analyze your PLS by checkout and suggest improvements.
Use Filters to focus on segments where checkout feels slow (device, connection, geography).
Simulate LCP of the suspected breakdown to see if fixing it will resolve the PLS by checkout. If yes, this is where the resolution focus should be.
Use an automated optimization tool like Navigation AI to improve your PLS by checkout.
Once you’ve improved PLS, set an alert to be the first to know if it starts worsening again.
