To me, INP is the trickiest Core Web Vital to fix. Cause you have to *find it* first… But once you do find it, the solution isn’t always cross-browser. Yes, the world does still need polyfills sometimes…

One of my fave ST-TOS scenes… How low does the budget have to be, to have to use a regular-old microphone, and ask Bones to simply twist his fingers around the end of it, to “mask the heartbeat” of people… 🤣
