Main-thread CPU breakdown or the framework

Does the framework explain the main-thread CPU breakdown difference?

On React, 98% of sites with 150 to 450ms of scripting CPU main-thread CPU breakdown have a good INP, against 98% of React sites with 450 to 1,200ms of scripting CPU. Within React, sites with 150 to 450ms of scripting CPU and 450 to 1,200ms of scripting CPU have a good INP about equally often.

Why scripting dominates main-thread CPU budgets

Across the web, JavaScript evaluation accounts for the largest share of total main-thread CPU time, dwarfing HTML parsing, style calculation, and painting. Across 1,810 sites (32.2%) spending 150 to 450ms in scripting CPU, 98% pass field INP (70ms median), while the 21.6% (1,216) exceeding 1,200ms drop to 96% good INP (80ms median).

Understanding main-thread CPU breakdown

Audit scripts consuming over 450ms of CPU during boot and yield between hydration, analytics initialization, and DOM manipulation. Across all audited sites, 32.2% spend 150 to 450ms in scripting CPU (98% good INP, 70ms median) versus 21.6% above 1,200ms (96% good INP, 80ms median).
