#### Editor’s note
 
Interaction to Next Paint (INP) is now a Core Web Vital. This is an important moment, because it brings more focus on the cost of excessive JavaScript weight and execution. After years learning from First Input Delay (FID) and INP trials, we now have a better way of reporting on interaction delays that can easily ruin user experience.
 
INP couldn’t be more timely as we watch the web being enshrined in script, even if it’s not the best tool to use. I hope that in the months to come, we’ll see positive performance signals inspired by this Core Web Vitals update.
