What is INP (Interaction to Next Paint)?

INP measures the response latency to user interactions, click, tap or key press, from the start until the next frame painted by the browser. It replaced FID (First Input Delay) as a Core Web Vital in March 2024. A good INP is below 200ms; above 500ms is poor and affects ranking.

What's the difference between FID and INP?

FID measured only the delay of the first input (before JS started processing). INP measures the complete latency of all interactions in the session, input delay + processing time + presentation delay, and reports the 98th percentile. INP is much more comprehensive and penalizes pages with heavy JavaScript on frequent interactions.

What causes high INP in WordPress?

Main cause: third-party JavaScript on the main thread (analytics, chat, heatmaps, tag managers). Also contributing: heavy synchronous event handlers, unnecessary re-renders in React/Vue, excessive DOM operations in response to scroll/resize, plugins that add high-frequency listeners without debounce.

How do you diagnose high INP in Chrome DevTools?

Open DevTools, select Performance and record the slow interaction. The trace separates input delay, processing time and presentation delay. Long tasks above 50 ms on the main thread are the most common cause, and the profiler shows which script is responsible.

What is scheduler.yield() and how does it help INP?

scheduler.yield() is an experimental API (Chrome 115+) that lets you break Long Tasks into smaller chunks, yielding control to the browser between heavy operations. This reduces input delay because the browser can process events between chunks. It's a more precise alternative to setTimeout(fn, 0) for controlled yields on the main thread.
