Some important definitions (Starting with “L” alphabet)

Largest Contentful Paint — A Core Web Vitals metric that measures the perceived loading speed of a web page by identifying the largest element in the viewport (such as an image or text block) and recording when it is fully rendered.Latency — The delay or time interval between initiating a request for data and the beginning of the actual data transfer. It is often used to describe the responsiveness of a system or network.Layout Viewport — In web development, the area of a web browser window where content is displayed and rendered based on CSS layout rules. It determines the visible portion of a web page.Lazy Load — A technique used in web development to defer the loading of non-critical resources (such as images or videos) until they are needed, typically when they come into view as the user scrolls down the page.LGPL — GNU Lesser General Public License: A free software license published by the Free Software Foundation, allowing developers to use and distribute software libraries under certain conditions, usually with more permissive terms than the GNU General Public License (GPL).Ligature — In typography, a ligature is a combined glyph created by merging two or more characters into a single form. Ligatures are commonly used to improve the appearance and readability of text.Literal — In programming, a literal is a notation for representing a fixed value in source code. Examples include string literals (enclosed in quotes), numeric literals (like integers or floating-point numbers), and boolean literals (true or false).Local Scope — In programming languages with lexical scoping, the local scope refers to the part of the code where a variable is defined and accessible. Variables defined within a function have local scope and are typically not accessible outside of that function.Local Variable — A variable that is declared within a specific scope (such as a function or block of code) and is only accessible within that scope. Local variables are temporary and exist only while the scope is active.Locale — A set of parameters that defines the user’s language, region, and cultural preferences, typically used to customize the presentation of content in software applications.Localization — The process of adapting software, websites, or content to meet the linguistic, cultural, and regulatory requirements of a specific locale or target market.Logical Properties — In CSS, logical properties refer to properties that are based on the directionality of the text (such as left and right) rather than physical directions (such as top and bottom). They are used to create layouts that adapt to different writing modes (LTR or RTL).Long Task — In web performance monitoring, a long task refers to a JavaScript task that ties up the main thread of the browser for an extended period, potentially causing responsiveness issues and affecting user experience.Loop — A programming construct that repeats a sequence of instructions until a specific condition is met. Common types include for loops, while loops, and do-while loops.Lossless Compression — A data compression method that reduces the size of a file without losing any data or quality. Lossless compression allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed version.Lossy Compression — A data compression method that reduces the size of a file by discarding some of the information, resulting in a loss of quality. This method is commonly used for compressing multimedia files like images, audio, and video.LTR (Left To Right) — A term used to describe the direction of text and content flow in languages that read from left to right, such as English and most European languages. It is also a directional setting in CSS.
