maharashtra.gov.in speed test — 20 Oct 2026
Measured from the wfix.shop server on 20 October 2026 at 14:27 UTC. Grade D (60/100), with the screenshots, the timings and the fixes that matter.
Where the first byte went
- DNS lookup 303 ms 17%
- TCP connect 278 ms 15%
- Server wait 1.21 s 68%
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.
How this page compares
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 took 1.79 s. Everything else waits for that number, so the server is where to start: caching, a slow query, or an overloaded host.
- The page transfers 1.59 MB over 26 request(s). Images files are 66% of it, so resize and recompress the largest images before anything else.
- It runs over HTTP/3, so the assets share a connection instead of opening one each.
Fix first: Server response time (TTFB) - Cut server think time: page cache, query indexes, fewer synchronous calls to third parties inside the request. Connection setup is distance, so a nearer region or a CDN edge helps instead.
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.
The headless browser did not capture this page when the test ran, so only the server measurements are shown.
Page weight by type
What the page is made of
Transfer size, compressed as sent. 26 request(s) in total, 1.59 MB across all of them.
Top issues
Server response time (TTFB)
high impactThe first byte arrived after 1794 ms. Of that, 1213 ms was the server thinking and 581 ms was connection setup. A first byte under 400 ms is what a visitor feels as instant.
Fix: Cut server think time: page cache, query indexes, fewer synchronous calls to third parties inside the request. Connection setup is distance, so a nearer region or a CDN edge helps instead.
Compress text responses
high impact0 text response(s) of 10 KB or more are sent uncompressed, and the document itself is compressed. That is 0 B 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
medium impact0 image(s) over 200 KB and 7 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.
Total page weight
medium impactThe page transfers 1.59 MB across 26 request(s), with the document itself at 558.6 KB.
Fix: Work through the heaviest assets first: images, then fonts, then third-party scripts.
HTML document size
medium impactThe document transfers 558.6 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.
Waterfall
Slowest requests
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
