Why Your LCP Stalls on Images—And How to Fix It

LCP failure on most websites traces directly to image performance, not generic speed issues. This guide moves beyond universal best practices to image-specific optimizations—format selection, dimension tuning, and load-order prioritization—that measurably shift LCP into the 'good' zone. Understanding which element actually triggers LCP and pairing modern formats like AVIF with correct viewport sizing is how teams close performance gaps that generic tooling misses.
