The Search Ranking Impact of Real-World Speed
Google no longer ranks websites based solely on keyword density and backlinks. Through the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX), Google monitors millions of real user browser sessions. If your site stutters when a reader taps a button or if content shifts while ads load, your search impressions plummet.

Mastering Interaction to Next Paint (INP)
INP measures the delay between a user interaction (tap, click, key press) and the visual presentation of the next frame. To keep INP below 50ms, avoid running heavy computational tasks on the browser main thread during event handlers. Offload non-critical telemetry to requestIdleCallback.
