Google Publisher Tag has been updated to improve INP (Interaction to Next Paint) scores. Google has rolled out this new update and publishers can acquire the new features by simply updating their Publisher Tag.
This new feature aims to foster more calculated loading, especially for those ads that cannot be viewed instantly by other users. The INP scores are improved upon with the prioritization of instantaneous activity and content which yields to out-of-viewport insertions.
The tech company has also put out a new asYield Config choice which enables publishers to have more command when it comes to behaviours of ad loading. This new feature enables publishers to expand the yielding to every ad slot. Thus, this gives publishers more flexibility in overseeing the site's performance.
Furthermore, the new Publisher Tag update could influence the INP scores. INP scores on the lower side suggest greater performance and this can consequently affect user experience and search engine ranks.
It has been reported that the upcoming CrUX (Chrome User Experience) report will witness the full-scale effects of the update. Additionally, the report also offers data relating to the INP measurements found on different websites that utilise the new version of the Google Publisher Tag. The report should also include a full set of data detailing the effects of the update on INP scores.
