Synthetic interaction sub-parts or the framework

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

On jQuery, 97% of sites with under 35ms lab interaction duration synthetic interaction sub-parts have a good INP, against 91% of jQuery sites with 65 to 110ms lab interaction duration. Within jQuery, sites with under 35ms lab interaction duration have a good INP more often. On Vue, 96% of sites with under 35ms lab interaction duration synthetic interaction sub-parts have a good INP, against 91% of Vue sites with 65 to 110ms lab interaction duration. Within Vue, sites with under 35ms lab interaction duration and 65 to 110ms 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 2,467 sites (33.7%) under 35ms in lab interactions, 97% pass field INP at an 103ms median, versus 87% (127ms median) on the 20.4% (1,491) 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, 33.7% finish under 35ms (97% good INP, 103ms median) versus 20.4% above 110ms (87% good INP, 127ms median).
