www.uga.edu speed test — 20 Oct 2026
Measured from the wfix.shop server on 20 October 2026 at 13:40 UTC. Grade B (89/100), with the screenshots, the timings and the fixes that matter.
Where the first byte went
- DNS lookup 67 ms 17%
- TCP connect 6 ms 2%
- Server wait 322 ms 82%
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 395 ms. That is workable, and the cheapest win left is caching or a warmer connection.
- The page transfers 828.4 KB over 8 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.
- It runs over HTTP/3, so the assets share a connection instead of opening one each.
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.
The headless browser did not capture this page when the test ran, so only the server measurements are shown.
Page weight by type
What the page is made of
Transfer size, compressed as sent. 8 request(s) in total, 828.4 KB across all of them.
Top issues
Compress text responses
high impact4 text response(s) of 10 KB or more are sent uncompressed, and the document itself is not compressed. That is 807.8 KB 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.
Cache static assets
medium impact6 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.
JavaScript weight
medium impact1 JavaScript file(s) over 200 KB: chunk-vendors.a438788d.js (464.2 KB)
Fix: Split routes, remove unused dependencies, and prefer a two-file build (one pinned library, one application bundle) over many small ones.
Avoid extra redirects
medium impact1 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.
Waterfall
Slowest requests
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
