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

Requestssends more requests than 100% of 4,999 pages tested here26 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 server answered in 165 ms, which is fast: almost all of the wait is the page itself, not the host.
  • The page transfers 737.0 KB over 26 request(s). Javascript files are 81% 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/2, so the assets share a connection instead of opening one each.
  • 82% 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 1.95 s, inside the 2.5 s Google calls good.
  • Layout stayed still (CLS 0.001), so nothing jumps under the reader's cursor.
  • The main thread was blocked for 643 ms, so taps and scrolling wait while scripts run.

Fix first: Third-party weight - Self-host the libraries you can, drop the tags you cannot justify, and preconnect the ones you keep.

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.

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

Javascript 17 requests

Images 8 requests
6.6 KB 1%

Transfer size, compressed as sent. 26 request(s) in total, 737.0 KB across all of them.

Top issues

Third-party weight

medium impact

1 third-party host(s) serve 604.7 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 132.4 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.

JavaScript weight

medium impact

1 JavaScript file(s) over 200 KB: _app-0d09b49bdbedaebf.js (239.2 KB)

Fix: Split routes, remove unused dependencies, and prefer a two-file build (one pinned library, one application bundle) over many small ones.

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
