Where the first byte went

  • DNS lookup 61 ms 19%

  • Server wait 236 ms 72%

Measured on the connection that fetched the HTML. Every other request on the page waits for the end of this bar before it can start.

Every report published here is in this comparison, so it is a reference population of pages tested from one server - not a benchmark of the whole web.

What these numbers mean

  • The first byte arrived in 328 ms. That is workable, and the cheapest win left is caching or a warmer connection.
  • The page transfers 3.97 MB over 26 request(s). Images files are 64% of it, so resize and recompress the largest images before anything else.
  • The HTML itself arrives zstd-compressed.
  • It runs over HTTP/3, so the assets share a connection instead of opening one each.

Fix first: Compress text responses - Turn on brotli (preferred) or gzip for text/css, javascript and text/html in the web server. This is the cheapest win available on almost any site.

Read on one shared server, not a visitor's phone: use it to compare pages against each other, not as a promise about every connection. We fix what these tests find.

No screenshot for this report.

The headless browser did not capture this page when the test ran, so only the server measurements are shown.

Page weight by type

Transfer size, compressed as sent. 26 request(s) in total, 3.97 MB across all of them.

Top issues

Compress text responses

high impact

6 text response(s) of 10 KB or more are sent uncompressed, and the document itself is not compressed. That is 1,008.2 KB of compressible text.

Fix: Turn on brotli (preferred) or gzip for text/css, javascript and text/html in the web server. This is the cheapest win available on almost any site.

Image delivery and format

high impact

5 image(s) over 200 KB and 8 large image(s) still served as JPEG or PNG.

Fix: Serve WebP or AVIF with a JPEG fallback, size images to the space they occupy, and lazy-load anything below the fold. Images are usually more than half of a slow page.

Render-blocking resources

high impact

5 render-blocking resource(s) in the document head (0 script(s), 5 stylesheet(s)). The page cannot paint until each one arrives.

Fix: Add defer or async to scripts that do not change the first paint, inline the critical CSS, and load the rest with media="print" plus an onload swap.

Total page weight

high impact

The page transfers 3.97 MB across 26 request(s), with the document itself at 102.6 KB.

Fix: Work through the heaviest assets first: images, then fonts, then third-party scripts.

HTML document size

medium impact

The document transfers 102.6 KB. A bloated document delays every other request, because nothing else can start until it is parsed.

Fix: Paginate long listings, move repeated markup into a template, and stop inlining large data URIs into the HTML.

Each bar is one request's own response time, scaled to the slowest. Assets were fetched in parallel, so the bars overlap in real time rather than stacking. first party third party
