Where the first byte went

  • TCP connect 53 ms 20%
  • Server wait 149 ms 58%

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

First bytefaster than 83% of 4,999 pages tested here259 ms against a median of 449 ms
Page weightheavier than 96% of 4,999 pages tested here7.08 MB against a median of 650.3 KB
Fully loadedslower than 65% of 4,999 pages tested here2.22 s against a median of 1.84 s
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 first byte arrived in 259 ms. That is workable, and the cheapest win left is caching or a warmer connection.
  • The page transfers 7.08 MB over 26 request(s). Images files are 95% of it, so resize and recompress the largest images before anything else.
  • It runs over HTTP/3, so the assets share a connection instead of opening one each.
  • 95% 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 888 ms, inside the 2.5 s Google calls good.
  • Layout stayed still (CLS 0.039), so nothing jumps under the reader's cursor.
  • The main thread was blocked for 307 ms, so taps and scrolling wait while scripts run.

Fix first: Compress text responses - 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.

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 25 requests
6.74 MB 95%

Transfer size, compressed as sent. 26 request(s) in total, 7.08 MB across all of them.

Top issues

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

15 image(s) over 200 KB and 15 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

high impact

The page transfers 7.08 MB across 26 request(s), with the document itself at 347.6 KB.

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

Third-party weight

medium impact

1 third-party host(s) serve 6.74 MB 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 347.6 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.

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
