www.n-tv.de speed test — 20 Oct 2026

The first byte arrived after 411 ms. Of that, 319 ms was the server thinking and 92 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.

0 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.

13 render-blocking resource(s) in the document head (0 script(s), 13 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.

The page transfers 1.56 MB across 26 request(s), with the document itself at 1.34 MB.

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

The document transfers 1.34 MB. 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.
