Where the first byte went

  • Server wait 92 ms 55%

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 server answered in 168 ms, which is fast: almost all of the wait is the page itself, not the host.
  • The page transfers 354.3 KB over 26 request(s). Images files are 90% of it, so resize and recompress the largest images before anything else.
  • 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 864 ms, inside the 2.5 s Google calls good.
  • The main thread was blocked for 83 ms in total, which is not enough to feel.

Fix first: Image delivery and format - Serve WebP or AVIF with a JPEG fallback, size images to the space they occupy, and lazy-load anything below the fold. Images are usually more than half of a slow page.

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 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

Image delivery and format

high impact

1 image(s) over 200 KB and 0 large image(s) still served as JPEG or PNG.

Fix: Serve WebP or AVIF with a JPEG fallback, size images to the space they occupy, and lazy-load anything below the fold. Images are usually more than half of a slow page.

Render-blocking resources

high impact

4 render-blocking resource(s) in the document head (1 script(s), 3 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.

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.

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
