Where the first byte went

  • TCP connect 47 ms 13%
  • Server wait 229 ms 65%

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

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 354 ms. That is workable, and the cheapest win left is caching or a warmer connection.
  • The page transfers 680 B 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 took 2.72 s to paint, past the 2.5 s threshold: usually a hero image that is too big or a render-blocking script in front of it.
  • Layout stayed still (CLS 0.018), so nothing jumps under the reader's cursor.
  • The main thread was blocked for 467 ms, so taps and scrolling wait while scripts run.

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.

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

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.

Strict-Transport-Security

low impact

HSTS is not set, so the first visit on a hostile network can still be downgraded to HTTP.

Fix: Send Strict-Transport-Security with a max-age of at least six months. Add includeSubDomains once every subdomain is HTTPS.
