CPU time

CPU time is the amount of time the Central Processing Unit (CPU) of a user's device spends processing the scripts and rendering a webpage. High CPU time, often caused by excessive JavaScript execution, can degrade the user experience and lead to poor performance metrics. Optimizing JavaScript and reducing unnecessary CPU-intensive tasks is key to improving performance.
