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 first byte took 743 ms. Everything else waits for that number, so the server is where to start: caching, a slow query, or an overloaded host.
  • The page transfers 367.8 KB over 26 request(s). Images files are 79% of it, so resize and recompress the largest images before anything else.
  • The HTML itself arrives gzip-compressed.
  • It runs over HTTP/3, so the assets share a connection instead of opening one each.
  • 79% 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 752 ms, inside the 2.5 s Google calls good.
  • The main thread was blocked for 22 ms in total, which is not enough to feel.

Fix first: Server response time (TTFB) - Cut server think time: page cache, query indexes, fewer synchronous calls to third parties inside the request. Connection setup is distance, so a nearer region or a CDN edge helps instead.

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.

Transfer size, compressed as sent. 26 request(s) in total, 367.8 KB across all of them.

Top issues

Server response time (TTFB)

high impact

The first byte arrived after 743 ms. Of that, 482 ms was the server thinking and 261 ms was connection setup. A first byte under 400 ms is what a visitor feels as instant.

Fix: Cut server think time: page cache, query indexes, fewer synchronous calls to third parties inside the request. Connection setup is distance, so a nearer region or a CDN edge helps instead.

Render-blocking resources

high impact

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

Third-party weight

medium impact

1 third-party host(s) serve 289.7 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.

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.

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
