Where the first byte went

  • DNS lookup 64 ms 26%

  • Server wait 136 ms 56%

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

Page weightlighter than 65% of 4,999 pages tested here402.2 KB against a median of 650.5 KB

Requestssends fewer requests than 77% of 4,999 pages tested here22 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 243 ms. That is workable, and the cheapest win left is caching or a warmer connection.
  • The page transfers 402.2 KB over 22 request(s). Javascript files are 48% 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.
  • 68% of the weight comes from other hosts (analytics, fonts, embeds), which also means their slow day becomes your slow day.

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.

Page weight by type

Transfer size, compressed as sent. 22 request(s) in total, 402.2 KB across all of them.

Top issues

Render-blocking resources

high impact

3 render-blocking resource(s) in the document head (0 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.

Third-party weight

medium impact

3 third-party host(s) serve 272.3 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.

HTML document size

medium impact

The document transfers 128.7 KB. A bloated document delays every other request, because nothing else can start until it is parsed.

Fix: Paginate long listings, move repeated markup into a template, and stop inlining large data URIs into the HTML.

Avoid extra redirects

medium impact

1 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
