Landing page load performance is optimized
Why it matters
Every additional 100ms of Largest Contentful Paint degrades conversion rate — Google's own data shows a 1-second LCP delay can reduce conversions by up to 7%. The most common source of above-fold slowness in Next.js marketing pages is a hero image loaded with default lazy behavior (which defers it) and synchronous third-party scripts blocking the render path. Render-blocking analytics, chat, and A/B testing scripts compound the problem because they delay the browser's ability to paint anything the user can interact with. ISO 25010:2011 performance-efficiency directly covers time-behavior under load.
Severity rationale
High because above-fold load performance has a direct, measurable impact on conversion rate and is routinely the largest single contributor to poor Core Web Vitals scores on marketing pages.
Remediation
Prioritize the above-fold hero image and defer non-critical third-party scripts. Two targeted fixes cover the most common cases:
// 1. Add priority to the hero image so the browser fetches it immediately
<Image
src="/hero-image.jpg"
alt="Product screenshot"
width={800}
height={600}
priority
/>
// 2. Defer analytics and chat scripts so they don't block render
<Script
src="https://cdn.analytics.com/script.js"
strategy="afterInteractive"
/>
Also confirm font-display: swap is set in your font configuration (e.g., in src/app/layout.tsx via next/font) so text renders immediately in a fallback font rather than staying invisible during the web font download.
