Google Search Console: Latest data on INP in the Core Web Vitals

Welcome to the exciting world of SEO! Today we have some great news: Google Search Console is now showing data on Interaction to Next Paint (INP). Wondering what that is? No problem, we'll explain.

What is Interaction to Next Paint (INP)?

INP is a future component of Core Web Vitals. It measures how quickly websites respond to user interactions. Why is this important? Well, if a website is slow to respond, there is a risk that users will bounce. And of course we want to avoid that.

INP replaces the First Input Delay (FID)

Google announced in May that INP will replace First Input Delay (FID) in Core Web Vitals. But don't worry, you still have until March 2024 to prepare for the changes.

Impact on SEO

The Core Web Vitals are selected Page Experience metrics that can impact rankings in Google. So the INP will definitely have an impact on SEO. And with the early integration of INP data in the Google Search Console, you can already prepare for it in the best possible way.

Prepare your website

Google recommends taking care of a user-friendly website design in good time, if necessary. The response speed of websites can have an impact on rankings, but is also important for user behaviour and conversion rates.
