Guides to Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint and Cumulative Layout Shift: what they measure, how Google evaluates them and how to improve each one.

6 articles

Start with the part of the visit that is failing. LCP describes when the largest visible content appears, INP describes responsiveness to interaction, and CLS describes unexpected layout movement. Each requires a different investigation.

These guides explain the thresholds, the 75th percentile and the difference between real-user reports and controlled tests. They then connect the result to a specific element, interaction or layout change.

Choose the beginner guide if the reports are unfamiliar. Use the individual metric guides when you already know which value needs work. Keep device category, collection period and URL or origin scope attached to your measurements so a change can be evaluated on the same basis.
