Why total script weight taxes main-thread responsiveness
Every kilobyte of JavaScript downloaded over the network must be decompressed, parsed, compiled, and evaluated on the CPU. Across 795 sites (8.3%) shipping 250 to 550 KB of scripts, 85% pass field INP at an 95ms median, whereas the 43.8% (4,193) shipping over 1 MB drop to 90% good INP (102ms median).
Understanding total JavaScript payload
Keep total JavaScript transfer below 550 KB by route-splitting framework bundles, auditing tag-manager containers, and loading interactive widgets on demand. Across all audited sites, 8.3% transfer 250 to 550 KB (85% good INP, 95ms median) versus 43.8% above 1 MB (90% good INP, 102ms median).
