www.twitch.tv speed test — 20 Oct 2026

What these numbers mean

• The server answered in 165 ms, which is fast: almost all of the wait is the page itself, not the host.
• The page transfers 586.7 KB over 26 request(s). Javascript files are 87% of it, so defer what is not needed for the first screen, and drop tags nobody uses.
• The HTML itself arrives br-compressed.
• It runs over HTTP/3, so the assets share a connection instead of opening one each.
• 87% 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 2.19 s, inside the 2.5 s Google calls good.
• Layout stayed still (CLS 0.016), so nothing jumps under the reader's cursor.
• The main thread was blocked for 1.43 s, so taps and scrolling wait while scripts run.

Fix first: Third-party weight - Self-host the libraries you can, drop the tags you cannot justify, and preconnect the ones you keep.

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.
