SpeedCurve | Mobile INP performance: The elephant in the room

February 7, 2024

However, after several months of discussing the impending change and getting a better look at INP issues in the wild, it’s hard to ignore the fact that mobile stands out as the biggest INP offender by a wide margin. This doesn’t get talked about as much as it should, so in this post we’ll explore:

  • The gap between “good” INP for desktop vs mobile
  • Working theories as to why mobile INP is so much poorer than desktop INP
  • Correlating INP with user behavior and business metrics (like conversion rate)
  • How you can track and improve INP for your pages
