DOM element count or the framework
Does the framework explain the DOM element count difference?
On React, 97% of sites with 400 to 799 DOM elements DOM element count have a good INP, against 96% of React sites with 800 to 1,499 DOM elements. Within React, sites with 400 to 799 DOM elements and 800 to 1,499 DOM elements have a good INP about equally often.

How DOM tree size taxes style recalculation and layout during interactions
Every time a user taps a menu, filters a grid, or toggles a class, the browser recalculates styles and layout across affected DOM nodes. Across 2,350 sites (41.8%) with 400 to 799 elements, 97% pass field INP at a 72ms median, and the 36.1% between 800 and 1,499 elements reach 96% good INP (79ms median). Once the document tree crosses 1,500 elements (15.0% of sites, 842), good INP drops to 94% and median INP rises to 88ms.
Understanding DOM element count
Keep total DOM element count under 800 nodes on initial load and below 1,500 nodes on complex templates. Render modals, drawer menus, and offscreen tabs lazily on interaction, and paginate or virtualize long product and comment lists. Across all audited sites, 41.8% sit at 400 to 799 nodes (97% good INP, 72ms median) versus 15.0% at 1,500+ nodes (94% good INP, 88ms median).
