Google recently started sending email notifications about the new INP report, Interaction to Next, core web vitals. I believe Google started sending them shortly after the report was published in Search Console.
As a reminder, INP, Interaction to Next, will replace FID, First Input Delay, in March 2024.
Will shared a screenshot on Twitter of the email he received from Google Search Console about issues one of his properties was having with INP. The email reads:
Google Search Console
INP problems related to Core Web Vitals detected on your website pennepersonalizzate.org
To the owner of pennepersonalizzate.org:
Google is transitioning to a new metric for measuring site responsiveness, known as Interaction to Next Paint (INP), which will replace FID as Core Web Vital in March 2024.
Search Console has detected that your site has the following INP issues:
- INP problem: time greater than 500ms (mobile devices)
- INP problem: time greater than 200ms (mobile devices)
We strongly recommend that site owners achieve strong Core Web Vitals metrics to perform well in Search and ensure an optimal user experience overall. This, along with other aspects of page experience, is in line with what our core ranking systems seek to reward.
Here is where you can access that report.
Google Search Console's Core Web Vitals report will include INP in the Core Web Vitals report by the end of the year, he said. "When INP replaces FID in March 2024, the Search Console report will stop showing FID metrics and use INP as the new responsiveness metric ," he added.
INP is a metric that aims to represent the overall interaction latency of a page by selecting one of the longest individual interactions that occur when a user visits a page. For pages with fewer than 50 total interactions, INP is the interaction with the worst latency. For pages with many interactions, INP is most often the 98th percentile of interaction latency.
More information about INP is available here and how to optimize it is available here.
Keep in mind that page experience isn't a product, but rather a good page experience is part of the overall Core Ranking system. " Good statistics within the Core Web Vitals report in Search Console or third-party Core Web Vitals reports don't guarantee a good ranking ," wrote Google's Martin Splitt.
