How We Achieved Sub-0.8s LCP Across 12 Client Enterprise Platforms
Eliminating render-blocking payloads, self-hosting font subsets, and prioritizing DOM streaming execution.
Measure first
We baseline every template with field data (CrUX) and lab data (Lighthouse) before touching code.
The highest-impact fixes
- Self-hosted, subset variable fonts with
font-display: swapand size-adjust fallbacks. - Priority hints on the LCP image and responsive AVIF/WebP sources.
- Streaming server rendering so meaningful HTML arrives in the first bytes.
- Removing third-party scripts from the critical path.
Applied consistently, these changes brought LCP under 0.8 seconds on every platform we measured.
