Field data (75th percentile)
FID was the original responsiveness Core Web Vital. It only measured the input delay of the very first interaction, and only that delay, not the work or rendering that followed, so a page could score a good FID yet still feel sluggish.
Google retired FID on 12 March 2024 in favour of INP, which measures the full interaction across the whole visit. FID is included here for context: you may still see it in older reports and tools.
