What issues it may cause​

Pages with a high FCP may cause a poor user-experience and could negatively affect the rankings in search engine results resulting in less traffic and conversions.

How do you fix it​

The pages should be investigated using tools like PageSpeed Insights to identify the issues that may be causing them to have a high FCP.

What is the positive impact​

Improving FCP speed may;

  • provide a better user-experience that could positively affect conversion rates.
  • result in higher rankings in search results leading to an increase in traffic and conversions.

          input: {crawlId: $crawlId, reportTemplateCode: $reportTemplateCode}
        ) {
          crawlUrls(after: $after, reportType: Basic) {
