What is INP by user type

INP by user type shows the Interaction to Next Paint (INP) value across different user types (e.g., First-time visitor, Returning visitor). This lens helps you identify which user types experience slower interactions on your website.

The list shows only user types that generated traffic to your website during the selected period.

First-time visitors often experience slower INP due to lack of cached JavaScript or heavier CPU usage during initial page loads. Returning visitors, by contrast, may benefit from optimized caching and faster rehydration of the page.

INP is a Core Web Vital that measures how long it takes the page to respond visually after a user interaction, such as a tap, click, or key press.



Healthy INP by user type sample


Should you worry

A healthy INP by user type lens looks all green. Some user types may be greener than others, but as long as there's no yellow or red, it’s considered healthy. The greener the user type, the snappier the interactions.

Unhealthy INP by user type sample

In the example below, INP by user type shows that first-time visitors are facing slow interaction times. This usually results in frustration, early exits, and poor conversion performance.

Resolving unhealthy INP by user type

Go-to action plan to resolve an unhealthy INP by user type:

  1. Ask Uxi to analyze your INP by user type values and suggest improvements.

  2. Use Filters to zoom in on the slow user type in your INP by user type, then compare across other INP lenses to identify high-latency pages with traffic.

  3. Simulate INP of the suspected lens to see if fixing it will resolve the INP by user type. If yes, this is where the resolution focus should be.

  4. Use an automated INP optimization tool like INProve to improve your INP by user type values.

  5. Once you’ve improved INP, set an alert to be the first to know if it starts worsening again.
