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 server answered in 101 ms, which is fast: almost all of the wait is the page itself, not the host.
  • The page transfers 234.0 KB over 26 request(s). Images files are 94% of it, so resize and recompress the largest images before anything else.
  • The HTML itself arrives br-compressed.
  • It runs over HTTP/3, so the assets share a connection instead of opening one each.
  • 94% 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 524 ms, inside the 2.5 s Google calls good.
  • Layout stayed still (CLS 0.008), so nothing jumps under the reader's cursor.
  • The main thread was blocked for 14 ms in total, which is not enough to feel.

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.

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
