Frequently Asked Questions
Why is TTI important for SEO?
Search engines favor fast, interactive websites. A low TTI can contribute positively to your page experience signals, influencing rankings.
What affects TTI the most?
JavaScript execution, large image assets, third-party scripts, and inefficient rendering can delay interactivity and increase TTI.

A Time to Interactive under 3.8 seconds is considered good. The lower the TTI, the better the user experience and SEO score.
