Learn how to fix a bad contentful paint in WordPress. The first contentful paint known as FCP occurs when the browser renders the first bit of content from the DOM, giving the user the first indication that the page is loading. When the browser first rendered any text, image (including background images), non-white canvas, or SVG, the First Contentful Paint timestamp is set. This does not include any iframe content, but it does include text with pending web fonts. This is the first time users have had access to the page’s content.
What does first contentful paint measure?
After a user navigates to your page, FCP measures how long it takes the browser to render the first piece of DOM content.
