Google's explanation of LCP

I linked Google’s own LCP documentation because it’s the baseline for what the metric is and what “good” looks like. It also clarifies the 2.5s target—though in practice I usually aim lower, closer to ~1.5s when possible.

Pros

+Official explanation straight from Google
+Clear thresholds for what counts as good LCP
+Helpful context for Core Web Vitals

Cons

-Doesn’t fix anything by itself—you still need to implement optimizations
-Real-world targets can be stricter than the official guidance
