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

Page weightlighter than 92% of 4,999 pages tested here40.6 KB against a median of 650.5 KB
Fully loadedfaster than 87% of 4,999 pages tested here1.21 s against a median of 1.84 s
Requestssends more requests than 100% of 4,999 pages tested here26 against a median of 26

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 server answered in 109 ms, which is fast: almost all of the wait is the page itself, not the host.
  • The page transfers 40.6 KB over 26 request(s).
  • The HTML itself arrives gzip-compressed.
  • It runs over HTTP/3, so the assets share a connection instead of opening one each.
  • The largest element painted at 520 ms, inside the 2.5 s Google calls good.
  • Layout stayed still (CLS 0.002), so nothing jumps under the reader's cursor.
  • The main thread was blocked for 243 ms, so taps and scrolling wait while scripts run.

Fix first: Render-blocking resources - 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.

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.

What the page is made of

Transfer size, compressed as sent. 26 request(s) in total, 40.6 KB across all of them.

Top issues

Render-blocking resources

high impact

5 render-blocking resource(s) in the document head (1 script(s), 4 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.

Avoid extra redirects

medium impact

1 redirect hop(s) before the page load started, each one a full round trip before the first byte.

Fix: Link to the canonical URL (and make sure http, the apex domain and www all point at it) so no visitor pays a redirect first.

Strict-Transport-Security

low impact

HSTS is not set, so the first visit on a hostile network can still be downgraded to HTTP.

Fix: Send Strict-Transport-Security with a max-age of at least six months. Add includeSubDomains once every subdomain is HTTPS.

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
