If a webpage's first fold contains both images and text, which one will be counted as the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)?

After diving into some research, I discovered something really interesting about Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)! ๐Ÿš€

When a webpage loads, LCP determines the biggest visible element in the first foldโ€”this could be an image or a text block.
But hereโ€™s the cool part: images usually take priority over text unless the text block is larger. So, if you ever wondered why your page speed metrics fluctuate, this might be the reason!

Want to boost LCP performance?

Make sure your hero image or the most important visual element loads firstโ€”this helps improve perceived load time and creates a smoother user experience. ๐Ÿ’ก
