Where the first byte went

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 91% of 4,999 pages tested here46.0 KB against a median of 650.5 KB

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 356 ms. That is workable, and the cheapest win left is caching or a warmer connection.
  • The page transfers 46.0 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 624 ms, 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 151 ms in total, which is not enough to feel.

Fix first: Avoid extra redirects - 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.

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

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
