What is meaningful is determined from a series of heuristics. -- [First CPU Idle](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/audits/first-interactive): first CPU idle is defined as the first point at which the page could respond quickly to input. It doesn't consider any point in time before first meaningful paint. The way this is implemented is primarily based on heuristics. +- [First Meaningful Paint](https://web.dev/first-meaningful-paint): first meaningful paint is defined as when the browser first puts any “meaningful” element/set of “meaningful” elements on the screen.

The earlier the pixels are painted, the better you score on metric. Users want an experience where most of the content is shown on the screen during the first few moments of initiating the page load. Loading more content earlier makes your end user feel like the website is loading quickly, which contributes to a positive user experience. Therefore, the lower your Speed Index, the better. -- [Estimated Input Latency](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/audits/estimated-input-latency): this audit measures how fast your app is in responding to user input. Our benchmark is that the estimated input latency should be under 50 ms (see documentation [here](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/audits/estimated-input-latency) as to why). +- [Speed Index](https://web.dev/speed-index): Speed Index measures how quickly all above-the-fold content is painted on screen.

Note that Lighthouse can especially experience inconsistent behaviors when it runs in the presence of anti-virus scanners, other extensions or programs that interfere with page load, and inconsistent ad behavior. Please try to run without anti-virus scanners or other extensions/programs to get the cleanest results, or alternatively, run Lighthouse on WebPageTest for the most consistent results [here](https://www.webpagetest.org/easy.php).*
