debug-optimize-lcp

debug-optimize-lcp is a skill for Claude Code from zhang77-X/chrpme_MCP. It costs 99 tokens per session (1,524 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of debug-optimize-lcp, Apache-2.0.

A guide to measuring and improving Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), the time until a webpage’s main image or text becomes visible, using Chrome DevTools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate slow page loads, improve Core Web Vitals, and find why a page’s main content appears late.
Why use it?
It helps identify whether server response, resource loading, or browser rendering is making the page feel slow.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

debug-optimize-lcp scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What is LCP and why it matters

Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) measures how quickly a page's main content becomes visible. It's the time from navigation start until the largest image or text block renders in the viewport.

  • Good: 2.5 seconds or less
  • Needs improvement: 2.5–4.0 seconds
  • Poor: greater than 4.0 seconds

LCP is a Core Web Vital that directly affects user experience and search ranking. On 73% of mobile pages, the LCP element is an image.

LCP Subparts Breakdown

Every page's LCP breaks down into four sequential subparts with no gaps or overlaps. Understanding which subpart is the bottleneck is the key to effective optimization.

Subpart Ideal % of LCP What it measures
Time to First Byte (TTFB) ~40% Navigation start → first byte of HTML received
Resource load delay <10% TTFB → browser starts loading the LCP resource
Resource load duration ~40% Time to download the LCP resource
Element render delay <10% LCP resource downloaded → LCP element rendered

The "delay" subparts should be as close to zero as possible. If either delay subpart is large relative to the total LCP, that's the first place to optimize.

Common Pitfall: Optimizing one subpart (like compressing an image to reduce load duration) without checking others. If render delay is the real bottleneck, a smaller image won't help — the saved time just shifts to render delay.

Debugging Workflow

Follow these steps in order. Each step builds on the previous one.

Step 1: Record a Performance Trace

Navigate to the page, then record a trace with reload to capture the full page load including LCP:

  1. navigate_page to the target URL.
  2. performance_start_trace with reload: true and autoStop: true.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
