Where the first byte went

  • DNS lookup 50 ms 7%

  • Server wait 531 ms 72%

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.

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 took 742 ms. Everything else waits for that number, so the server is where to start: caching, a slow query, or an overloaded host.
  • The page transfers 1.28 MB over 26 request(s). Images files are 93% of it, so resize and recompress the largest images before anything else.
  • It runs over HTTP/2, so the assets share a connection instead of opening one each.
  • 87% of the weight comes from other hosts (analytics, fonts, embeds), which also means their slow day becomes your slow day.
  • The largest element painted at 1.15 s, inside the 2.5 s Google calls good.
  • The main thread was blocked for 810 ms, so taps and scrolling wait while scripts run.

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.

Page weight by type

What the page is made of

Images 24 requests
1.19 MB 93%
Javascript 1 request
92 B 0%

Transfer size, compressed as sent. 26 request(s) in total, 1.28 MB across all of them.

Top issues

Server response time (TTFB)

high impact

The first byte arrived after 742 ms. Of that, 531 ms was the server thinking and 211 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.

Compress text responses

high impact

0 text response(s) of 10 KB or more are sent uncompressed, and the document itself is compressed. That is 0 B 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.

Image delivery and format

high impact

3 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.

Total page weight

medium impact

The page transfers 1.28 MB across 26 request(s), with the document itself at 90.4 KB.

Fix: Work through the heaviest assets first: images, then fonts, then third-party scripts.

Cache static assets

medium impact

1 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.

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
