Where the first byte went

  • DNS lookup 43 ms 17%

  • Server wait 171 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.

How this page compares

First bytefaster than 85% of 4,999 pages tested here247 ms against a median of 449 ms
Page weightheavier than 53% of 4,999 pages tested here707.1 KB against a median of 650.3 KB
Fully loadedfaster than 87% of 4,999 pages tested here1.21 s against a median of 1.84 s
Requestssends more requests than 100% of 4,999 pages tested here26 against a median of 26

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 247 ms. That is workable, and the cheapest win left is caching or a warmer connection.
  • The page transfers 707.1 KB over 26 request(s). Html files are 96% of it, so that one type is worth a look on its own.
  • The HTML itself arrives gzip-compressed.
  • It runs over HTTP/3, so the assets share a connection instead of opening one each.

Fix first: Render-blocking resources - 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.

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.

No screenshot for this report.

The headless browser did not capture this page when the test ran, so only the server measurements are shown.

Top issues

Render-blocking resources

high impact

12 render-blocking resource(s) in the document head (2 script(s), 10 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.

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
