AdSense and INP problems, should I take actions?

[guarriman3]

Since some weeks, I'm getting some INP errors in my Google Search Console (Core Web Vitals), of "longer than 200ms" in the mobile version.

Using the 'Timespan' mode of Chrome's Lighthouse, sometimes I get a few INP issues of AdSense ads. The rest of the tests returns no INP issues at all.

I'm not sure if I take actions dealing with AdSense ads, or if Google will not take it into account since it's related to AdSense.

I would not be too concerned as the INP replaced FID only about one month ago and they set standards based on accumulated statistics. There is a discussion about the 'new' INP here: [webmasterworld.com...] where there are links to tools to see whether there are things you can do - but over time the old FID standard changed to be more accepting and this one may also continue to accommodate their own delays better as it gets more data. If the site is fine except for AdSense caused issues, it may test better further down the road as they learn from usage.

It may not hurt to check their testing tools there but if your time is important I'd say do it if you have the extra time. You may find something, but it might not be fixed until they integrate more statistics. In other words, if it is not caused by your work, let them adjust their expectations.

Thank you. I will try to find other sources for this INP issue, but so far I still haven't found them (apart from AdSense).

I'm not sure that it does something to do with the CWV. The main CWV errors is INP (50,000 URLs that "need improvement") and just 6,000 with CLS poor performance.
