The real metric: INP with ad blocking enabled.

Example: NYTimes.com on Mobile Safari with AdGuard. 18 seconds.

Google is being really disingenuous with its so called metrics. A stroke of the pen could make INP 200ms across the top 500 sites.

Dear lord, I can't imagine that's the fault of NYTimes. Something is off with your setup.

NYTimes.com is super quick and responsive on my devices.


What "setup"? Parent said Mobile Safari. The setup come off of the factory as a given.


Maybe AdGuard? Maybe they have 2G internet?

Something isn't right, and I have a hard time believing it's NYTimes given my experiences with their website.


Don’t even get me started with 2G (or even flaky wifi networks) internet and JS-heavy pages.


The NY times website on mobile Safari with AdGuard feels perfectly normal on my iPhone 13.

Do you observe the same behaviour in private mode? Something goes wrong on your device.


That's all Google cares about. How to invade our privacy and force us to see more ads?


Google is an ad company. Why would they make metrics that penalize ads?



NYTimes feels like a SSG when browsing (chrome) from Europe after initial payload but that's as an unauthenticated user with ublock. The sad part is that I can't read most of the articles due to the paywall.
