Breaking up Long Tasks

Certain tasks on a user interaction can be blocking, giving the user a broken experience, and resulting in a low interaction to next paint(INP) metric score.

Some ways to optimise it are:

- Keep tasks small and dedicated to what they should do

- Use Chrome’s scheduler API to schedule tasks for browser

- Yield important tasks to the main thread

Join Nishu for a walk through of ways to measure and optimise the interaction experience.
