www.rainews.it speed test — 20 Oct 2026

The first byte arrived after 613 ms. Of that, 469 ms was the server thinking and 144 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.

1 text response(s) of 10 KB or more are sent uncompressed, and the document itself is not compressed. That is 492.9 KB 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.

7 render-blocking resource(s) in the document head (2 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.

The certificate for www.rainews.it has 18 day(s) left.

Fix: Renew automatically (certbot with a working renewal timer) and alert on the certificate, not on the renew command, so a silent failure is caught weeks before a browser warning.

The page transfers 1.23 MB across 26 request(s), with the document itself at 276.4 KB.

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