Full definition

INP evaluates responsiveness to clicks, taps and keyboard input through the next paint. The good threshold is 200 ms or less at the 75th percentile.

Concrete Shopify example

Illustrative example: selecting a size starts several computations and the button appears frozen. Record the interaction to locate input, processing and presentation delays.

My take

Test important mobile interactions and reduce identified blocking work. A visit without interaction does not demonstrate good INP.
