Where the first byte went

  • DNS lookup 56 ms 16%

  • Server wait 266 ms 76%

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 351 ms. That is workable, and the cheapest win left is caching or a warmer connection.
  • The page transfers 2.32 MB over 10 request(s), which is lean. Javascript files are 68% of it, so defer what is not needed for the first screen, and drop tags nobody uses.
  • The HTML itself arrives gzip-compressed.
  • It runs over HTTP/3, so the assets share a connection instead of opening one each.
  • 100% 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 1.08 s, inside the 2.5 s Google calls good.
  • The main thread was blocked for 43 ms in total, which is not enough to feel.

Fix first: Compress text responses - Turn on brotli (preferred) or gzip for text/css, javascript and text/html in the web server. This is the cheapest win available on almost any site.

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

Compress text responses

high impact

3 text response(s) of 10 KB or more are sent uncompressed, and the document itself is not compressed. That is 2.12 MB of compressible text.

Fix: Turn on brotli (preferred) or gzip for text/css, javascript and text/html in the web server. This is the cheapest win available on almost any site.

Render-blocking resources

high impact

6 render-blocking resource(s) in the document head (5 script(s), 1 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.

Total page weight

high impact

The page transfers 2.32 MB across 10 request(s), with the document itself at 3.9 KB.

Fix: Work through the heaviest assets first: images, then fonts, then third-party scripts.

Cache static assets

medium impact

6 asset(s) answer without a Cache-Control max-age, so browsers revalidate them on every visit.

Fix: Version filenames on change and serve them with a long max-age plus immutable. That is what makes a returning visitor fast.

Third-party weight

medium impact

3 third-party host(s) serve 2.32 MB of this page. Each one is another DNS lookup, TLS handshake and point of failure you do not control.

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

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
