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 240 ms. That is workable, and the cheapest win left is caching or a warmer connection.
The page transfers 584.1 KB over 26 request(s). Images files are 31% 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.
31% 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 328 ms, inside the 2.5 s Google calls good.
The main thread was blocked for 577 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.

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.

Render-blocking resources

high impact

5 render-blocking resource(s) in the document head (1 script(s), 4 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.

HTML document size

medium impact

The document transfers 400.3 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.

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.
