Synthetic interaction sub-parts or the platform

Does the platform explain the synthetic interaction sub-parts difference?

On WordPress, 98% of sites with under 35ms lab interaction duration synthetic interaction sub-parts have a good INP, against 98% of WordPress sites with 35 to 65ms lab interaction duration. Within WordPress, sites with under 35ms lab interaction duration and 35 to 65ms lab interaction duration have a good INP about equally often. On Shopify, 98% of sites with under 35ms lab interaction duration synthetic interaction sub-parts have a good INP, against 97% of Shopify sites with 35 to 65ms lab interaction duration. Within Shopify, sites with under 35ms lab interaction duration and 35 to 65ms lab interaction duration have a good INP about equally often.

How input delay, processing, and presentation add up

Every user tap or click waits for background main-thread tasks to finish (input delay), runs event callbacks (processing), and recalculates styles and paints the next frame (presentation). Across 42,624 sites (30.6%) under 35ms in lab interactions, 96% pass field INP at an 85ms median, versus 95% (92ms median) on the 18.1% (25,246) exceeding 110ms.

Understanding synthetic interaction sub-parts

Keep event handler processing lean and yield before forcing layout or paint updates so total interaction latency stays well below the 200ms INP threshold. Across all audited sites, 30.6% finish under 35ms (96% good INP, 85ms median) versus 18.1% above 110ms (95% good INP, 92ms median).
