Change to Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) metric in Chrome 81

[Annie Sullivan]

Hi everyone,

In Chrome 81, we fixed a bug in the reporting of Largest Contentful Paint to the Chrome User Experience Report. Previously, if the largest text or image paint on the page was text, and it occurred while the largest image was loading, it may not have been reported. Now it will be reported whether or not any images are loading.

This does not affect the Largest Contentful Paint JavaScript API, which never had this bug.

Full details on the change can be found here.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

-Annie
