What is LCP by rage clicks
LCP by rage clicks shows how the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) differs for users who perform rage clicks compared to those who don’t.
A rage click occurs when a user rapidly clicks multiple times on the same element within a short time frame — usually out of frustration. This behavior often means they expected something to happen (like a button or link working), but nothing responded.
This breakdown helps you identify whether slow rendering and delayed content visibility are contributing to user frustration. Since LCP represents when the largest element becomes visible, a poor LCP may leave users feeling like the page is “frozen” or unresponsive, triggering rage clicks.

Should you worry
In a healthy view, LCP values for sessions with rage clicks don’t look significantly worse than sessions without them. Rage clicks may still occur, but they’re more likely caused by UI/UX issues (like confusing layouts or non-clickable elements that look clickable) rather than performance problems.
A healthy setup typically shows:
Green LCP values for both rage click and non-rage click sessions.
No strong correlation between poor LCP and frustration behavior.
Clear visual cues and responsive UI elements.
If rage clicks happen rarely and LCP remains stable, the problem is likely design-related, not performance-related.
Unhealthy LCP by rage clicks
If your data shows that rage click sessions consistently experience slower LCP, it’s a red flag that delayed content visibility is causing users to assume the page is broken or unresponsive.
Common reasons include:
Slow hero rendering — users click before the main content appears.
Loading indicators not visible — users think nothing is happening.
Blocking scripts delaying interactivity and layout.
Late-loading buttons or links that look ready but aren’t functional yet.
In these cases, performance is directly fueling frustration and broken expectations.
Resolving unhealthy LCP by rage clicks
Go-to action plan to resolve an unhealthy LCP by rage clicks:
Ask Uxi to analyze your LCP by rage clicks values and suggest improvements.
Use Filters to compare rage click sessions across devices, countries, and traffic sources.
Simulate LCP of the suspected breakdown to see if fixing it will resolve the slow LCP by rage clicks. If yes, this is where the resolution focus should be.
Use an automated LCP optimization tool like Navigation AI to improve your LCP by rage clicks values.
Once you’ve improved LCP, set an alert to be the first to know if it starts worsening again.
