How to monitor and improve Interaction to Next Paint

[samiaseo75]

Google has introduced a new Core Web Vitals metric, Interaction to Next Paint (= INP). Here are some tips on how to monitor and improve it on your website.
What is Interaction to Next Paint (INP)?
The new Interaction to Next Paint (INP) metric replaces the original First Input Delay (FID) metric as of March 2024, becoming another Core Web Vitals metric. It attempts to capture more aspects than FID did.

The goal of the metric is to measure the time physician data between when a user interacts with a page (e.g., clicks a button) and when the browser is instructed to render the changed pixels to the device's screen. If the duration is 1 second, this is already a bad value. A good INP score should be under 200 milliseconds. The more CPU it takes to process a user's interaction with the page and display new content, the worse the INP score.

Unfortunately, in practice, this not only means that your website loads slowly, as INP is a new evaluation factor in Core Web Vitas , it also means a worse SEO score for you and probably a worse ranking in search results, as you will get a lower ranking than your competing sites.
