archive.org speed test — 20 Oct 2026
Measured from the wfix.shop server on 20 October 2026 at 12:34 UTC. Grade A (98/100), with the screenshots, the timings and the fixes that matter.
Where the first byte went
- DNS lookup 54 ms 16%
- TCP connect 57 ms 17%
- Server wait 219 ms 66%
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 330 ms. That is workable, and the cheapest win left is caching or a warmer connection.
- The page transfers 27.5 KB over 7 request(s), which is lean. Javascript files are 74% 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.
- The largest element painted at 1.98 s, inside the 2.5 s Google calls good.
- The main thread was blocked for 5 ms in total, which is not enough to feel.
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.

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. 7 request(s) in total, 27.5 KB across all of them.
No failing audits: the page passes everything this test can check.
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
