etherscan.io speed test — 20 Oct 2026
Measured from the wfix.shop server on 20 October 2026 at 14:29 UTC. Grade C (78/100), with the screenshots, the timings and the fixes that matter.
Where the first byte went
- DNS lookup 76 ms 18%
- TCP connect 46 ms 11%
- Server wait 289 ms 70%
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 412 ms. That is workable, and the cheapest win left is caching or a warmer connection.
- The page transfers 1.79 MB over 26 request(s). Javascript files are 96% of it, so defer what is not needed for the first screen, and drop tags nobody uses.
- The HTML itself arrives br-compressed.
- It runs over HTTP/3, so the assets share a connection instead of opening one each.
- The largest element painted at 752 ms, inside the 2.5 s Google calls good.
- Layout stayed still (CLS 0.004), so nothing jumps under the reader's cursor.
- The main thread was blocked for 193 ms in total, which is not enough to feel.
Fix first: Server response time (TTFB) - Cut server think time: page cache, query indexes, fewer synchronous calls to third parties inside the request. Connection setup is distance, so a nearer region or a CDN edge helps instead.
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.
Screenshot
What the page looks like
Loaded in headless Chromium on this server. Click an image to open it full size.
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.
Page weight by type
What the page is made of
Transfer size, compressed as sent. 26 request(s) in total, 1.79 MB across all of them.
Top issues
Server response time (TTFB)
high impactThe first byte arrived after 412 ms. Of that, 289 ms was the server thinking and 122 ms was connection setup. A first byte under 400 ms is what a visitor feels as instant.
Fix: Cut server think time: page cache, query indexes, fewer synchronous calls to third parties inside the request. Connection setup is distance, so a nearer region or a CDN edge helps instead.
Render-blocking resources
high impact8 render-blocking resource(s) in the document head (3 script(s), 5 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 impactThe page transfers 1.79 MB across 26 request(s), with the document itself at 22.1 KB.
Fix: Work through the heaviest assets first: images, then fonts, then third-party scripts.
Cache static assets
medium impact1 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 impact3 third-party host(s) serve 316.9 KB 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.
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
