INP Thresholds & Benchmarks
| Metric | Good | Needs Improvement | Poor |
|---|---|---|---|
| INP | ≤ 200 ms | 200 ms, 500 ms | > 500 ms |
How INP is Measured
INP is collected from real users via the Event Timing API and aggregated in the Chrome User Experience Report. Lab tools approximate it through Total Blocking Time.
