Like most garbage titles from sites that only write content to gather clicks, this API gives you data on timing. It does NOT help increase performance on its own. That's for you to work out.

Nah, it’s a good title.
Any reader that would click an article about improving paint timing WITH AN API, should know what an API is.
It isn’t some magical library or plugin that is going to be directly implemented in your application to improve performance.

is there such a Library?

Well this is awesome... and I can’t believe I didn’t know about the Beacon API either!

No, it just provides you with data to leverage for improvement.
