Where the first byte went

  • Server wait 112 ms 59%

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 99% of 4,999 pages tested here226 B against a median of 650.5 KB

Requestssends fewer requests than 96% of 4,999 pages tested here2 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 191 ms, which is fast: almost all of the wait is the page itself, not the host.
  • The page transfers 226 B over 2 request(s), which is lean.
  • It runs over HTTP/2, so the assets share a connection instead of opening one each.
  • The largest element painted at 1.68 s, inside the 2.5 s Google calls good.
  • Layout stayed still (CLS 0.061), so nothing jumps under the reader's cursor.
  • The main thread was blocked for 530 ms, so taps and scrolling wait while scripts run.

Fix first: Avoid extra redirects - 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.

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.

Top issues

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.

Mobile viewport

medium impact

No viewport meta tag, so a phone renders the desktop layout scaled down.

Fix: Add a viewport meta tag with width=device-width and an initial scale of 1.

Waterfall

155 ms

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
