Been thinking more about paint metrics in the context of say, CLS. Until a layout settles into its final state, it's all loading process. Early paints get replaced. I'd like a metric that tracks the first time that a part of the FINAL content paints. With a lot of react sites, this moment is very late, and early paint metrics make things look faster than they are.
How soon did you render any of the stuff that the user came for? Kinda think First Meaningful Paint was a nice name.
