INP stands for Interaction to Next Paint, an Internet & web abbreviation.
A Core Web Vitals metric measuring how quickly a page visibly responds to clicks, taps and key presses, reported as roughly the slowest interaction during a visit. Values of 200 milliseconds or less are rated good.
Example: Our INP is 450 ms because a huge script blocks the main thread whenever the filter is tapped.
Usage notes
Replaced First Input Delay as a Core Web Vital in March 2024, because FID measured only the delay before the first interaction was handled. Long JavaScript tasks are the usual cause of poor scores, so fixes involve breaking up work and deferring third-party scripts.
