www.cisco.com/site/us/en/about/corporate-strategy-office/acquisitions/meraki/index.html speed test — 20 Oct 2026

Measured from the wfix.shop server on 20 October 2026 at 12:35 UTC. Grade A (92/100), with the screenshots, the timings and the fixes that matter.

Where the first byte went

  • TCP connect 29 ms 11%
  • Server wait 159 ms 61%

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 bytefaster than 82% of 4,999 pages tested here260 ms against a median of 449 ms
Page weightlighter than 94% of 4,999 pages tested here23.4 KB against a median of 650.5 KB
Fully loadedslower than 56% of 4,999 pages tested here1.97 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 first byte arrived in 260 ms. That is workable, and the cheapest win left is caching or a warmer connection.
  • The page transfers 23.4 KB over 26 request(s). Html files are 35% of it, so that one type is worth a look on its own.
  • 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 644 ms, inside the 2.5 s Google calls good.
  • Layout stayed still (CLS 0.024), so nothing jumps under the reader's cursor.
  • The main thread was blocked for 187 ms in total, which is not enough to feel.

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.

Top issues

Render-blocking resources

high impact

12 render-blocking resource(s) in the document head (9 script(s), 3 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.

TLS certificate validity

high impact

The certificate for www.cisco.com has 19 day(s) left.

Fix: Renew automatically (certbot with a working renewal timer) and alert on the certificate, not on the renew command, so a silent failure is caught weeks before a browser warning.

Avoid extra redirects

medium impact

2 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.

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
