Why the Accept button is often the slowest interaction on the page
When a cookie wall blocks the page on first visit, the visitor's very first tap happens on the consent button. Many Consent Management Platforms (CMPs) synchronously update storage, remove DOM overlays, and initialize Google Tag Manager and marketing pixels inside that click handler. Across 1,308 sites (15.9%) with a cookie wall, median INP rises to 63ms (99% good INP, 84% good CLS), compared with a 60ms median INP (99% good INP, 86% good CLS) on the 6,938 sites (84.1%) without one.
Understanding cookie consent walls
Use Shopify's native Customer Privacy banner or a lightweight App Embed that renders as a fixed overlay and defers analytics initialization until after the consent banner paints closed. Across Shopify, 84.1% of stores avoid blocking cookie walls (99% good INP, 60ms median) while 15.9% display a blocking wall (99% good INP, 63ms median).
