What is INP by navigation type
INP by navigation type shows the Interaction to Next Paint (INP) value across different navigation types (e.g. Back-forward, Prerender, Navigate). This lens helps you uncover which navigation paths are introducing delays in user interactions.
Only navigation types that generated traffic to your website during the selected period are shown.
INP is a Core Web Vital that captures how fast your site reacts to real-user inputs like clicks and taps. When INP is high, the site feels unresponsive — even if everything else looks fine.
Healthy INP by navigation type sample
Should you worry
A healthy INP by navigation type lens is fully green. This means your site's interactivity is smooth no matter how users get to the page — whether through a regular click (navigate), a back button (back-forward), or prerendered navigation.
Unhealthy INP by navigation type sample
In the example below, Navigate is both the most used navigation type and the one with the slowest INP. That’s a signal something in your primary navigation path is bogging down responsiveness — and may be affecting key user flows like homepage to product or blog to checkout.
Resolving unhealthy INP by navigation type
Go-to action plan to resolve an unhealthy INP by navigation type:
Ask Uxi to analyze your INP by navigation type values and suggest improvements.
Use Filters to isolate the slow navigation type (e.g.
navigate), then cross-reference with INP by page and INP by element to find where the lag comes from.
Simulate INP of the suspected lens to see if fixing it will resolve the INP by navigation type. If yes, this is where the resolution focus should be.
Use an automated INP optimization tool like INProve to improve your INP by navigation type values.
Once you’ve improved INP, set an alert to be the first to know if it starts worsening again.
