Improve Interaction to Next Paint (INP) — v0

Q: INP vs FID?

FID only measured the first input. INP measures the worst across the session — much more comprehensive and realistic.

Q: How do I split long tasks?

Use `scheduler.yield()` (Chrome) or `setTimeout(fn, 0)` between chunks to let the browser paint and handle events.

INP measures responsiveness to clicks and taps. Heavy JS on interaction kills it. Replaced FID as a Core Web Vital in 2024.

Improve Interaction to Next Paint

1. Break up long JavaScript tasks into smaller chunks.
2. Defer non-critical JavaScript with async/defer.
3. Reduce main-thread blocking from third-party scripts.

Why this matters

INP replaced FID in March 2024 as a Core Web Vital. It measures actual interaction responsiveness — click a button, how long until the next paint?

Poor INP usually means heavy event handlers or blocking main thread work. Users feel the jank even without understanding the metric.

Common mistakes to avoid

error_outlineRunning expensive calculations synchronously in click handlers.
error_outlineLarge React re-renders on every input change (no debounce).
error_outlineLoading 3rd-party scripts synchronously — they block the main thread.
error_outlineNot yielding to the browser between long tasks.
