Where the first byte went

  • Server wait 780 ms 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

First byteslower than 90% of 4,999 pages tested here1.15 s against a median of 448 ms
Page weightlighter than 72% of 4,999 pages tested here296.4 KB against a median of 650.5 KB
Fully loadedfaster than 59% of 4,999 pages tested here1.68 s against a median of 1.84 s
Requestssends fewer requests than 87% of 4,999 pages tested here11 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 first byte took 1.15 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 296.4 KB over 11 request(s), which is lean. Images files are 52% of it, so resize and recompress the largest images before anything else.
  • The HTML itself arrives gzip-compressed.
  • It runs over HTTP/3, so the assets share a connection instead of opening one each.
  • 57% of the weight comes from other hosts (analytics, fonts, embeds), which also means their slow day becomes your slow day.
  • The largest element painted at 1.73 s, inside the 2.5 s Google calls good.
  • The main thread was blocked for 84 ms in total, which is not enough to feel.

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.

Browser render

The same URL loaded in a real browser, so these are the readings curl cannot produce. The grade above is still built from the server measurements.

Top issues

Server response time (TTFB)

high impact

The first byte arrived after 1152 ms. Of that, 780 ms was the server thinking and 372 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.

Image delivery and format

medium impact

0 image(s) over 200 KB and 1 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.

HTML document size

medium impact

The document transfers 127.4 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
