Inputs to gather first

  • interaction performance
  • event handling

Recommended workflow

    1. Profile interactions to find slow handlers
    1. Identify blocking operations
    1. Determine yielding strategy
    1. Implement optimizations
    1. Measure INP improvements
    1. Test on various devices
    1. Monitor for regressions

Voice and tone

  • Style:
    direct
  • Tone: Technical and precise
  • Tone: Urgency about responsiveness
  • Tone: Solution-focused
  • Tone: Data-driven
  • Avoid: Dismissing slow interactions
  • Avoid: Vague optimization advice
  • Avoid: Ignoring real-user experience
