Where the first byte went

  • DNS lookup 59 ms 17%
  • TCP connect 48 ms 14%
  • Server wait 236 ms 69%

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.

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 344 ms. That is workable, and the cheapest win left is caching or a warmer connection.
  • The page transfers 133.7 KB over 1 request(s), which is lean.
  • 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 132 ms, inside the 2.5 s Google calls good.

Fix first: HTML document size - Paginate long listings, move repeated markup into a template, and stop inlining large data URIs into the HTML.

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

HTML document size

medium impact

The document transfers 133.7 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.

Avoid extra redirects

medium impact

1 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.

Mobile viewport

medium impact

No viewport meta tag, so a phone renders the desktop layout scaled down.

Fix: Add a viewport meta tag with width=device-width and an initial scale of 1.
