LCP times the largest element on screen. If that is the banner, LCP measures the banner instead of the page.

- None recorded in this run
On desktop, it appeared in a median 629 ms, against 471 ms for the median of the 10 CMPs measured. On an emulated mid-tier phone, it appeared in a median 3.92 s, against 2.71 s for the median of the 10 CMPs measured.
On desktop it added no measurable delay to the main content. On an emulated mid-tier phone it delayed the main content by 476 ms (95% interval 444 ms to 508 ms). Delay is the extra time before the main content appears. We compare Largest Contentful Paint on the same page, with and without a consent manager.
It passed 4 of 4 checks on desktop and on an emulated mid-tier phone. A check fails if a tracker runs, the page sets a cookie or data leaves the page before the visitor chooses.
Per vendor docs, OneTrust supports IAB TCF, IAB GPP, Google Consent Mode v2, Google CMP certification and Global Privacy Control. Feature support comes from OneTrust’s documentation. CookieBench did not test these features itself.
