"Google Enhances Core Web Vitals Reporting and Ranking Signals"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Search Engine Journal
Google has replaced the First Input Delay (FID) metric with Interaction to Next Paint (INP) in its Core Web Vitals report, aiming to provide a more comprehensive assessment of website interactivity. This change reflects Google's commitment to refining methods for evaluating and improving web user experience. Web developers are advised to assess their website's INP performance and optimize for the new metric, as it may impact search rankings and user engagement. Tools like PageSpeed Insights and Chrome's User Experience Report can be used to evaluate and address issues affecting INP scores.
