What is INP by Navigation AI speed

INP by Navigation AI speed shows how the Interaction to Next Paint (INP) behaves across different navigation speed tiers — from traditional Standard loads to lightning-fast Truly instant navigations delivered by Navigation AI.

This lens helps you assess whether faster page delivery also translates into better responsiveness for users. While Navigation AI speeds up the initial load, INP is affected by what happens after the page is visible — like hydration, JavaScript execution, and user interaction readiness.

Description

Standard

Navigations with no Navigation AI assistance - traditional page loads

Faster

Optimized navigations with improved speed, but still above 1s

Semi-instant

Optimized navigations loading in 300ms to 1s - feels fast to most users

Truly instant

Navigations under 300ms - often perceived as instant



Healthy INP by Navigation AI speed sample


Should you worry

If Truly instant and Semi-instant navigations consistently show lower INP than Standard, you’re seeing the ideal outcome: prerendering and faster delivery giving users both speed and snappiness.

Unhealthy INP by Navigation AI speed sample

If the INP values barely change between tiers, or remain high across the board, it likely means:

  • Main-thread blocking is still occurring post-load

  • Hydration is delaying interactivity, even after prerendering

  • Personalization, ads, or third-party scripts are bottlenecking input handling

Navigation AI accelerates delivery, but it doesn’t magically fix interaction delays. That’s where INProve comes in — a tool purpose-built to reduce INP by deferring non-critical scripts, optimizing hydration, and prioritizing input readiness.

Resolving unhealthy INP by Navigation AI speed

Go-to action plan to resolve an unhealthy INP by Navigation AI speed:

  1. Ask Uxi to analyze your INP by Navigation AI speed values and suggest improvements.

  2. Use Filters to focus on optimized navigations with high INP values.

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

  4. Use an automated INP optimization tool like INProve to improve your INP by Navigation AI speed values.

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