Measures a page's server response time (TTFB), DNS resolution and connection times, download size and total load time.
Why Does Site Speed Matter?
Page speed directly affects both the user experience and your Google ranking. Google's Core Web Vitals metrics push slow-loading pages down in the search results. Measurements show that visitor loss increases noticeably when load time rises from 1 second to 3 seconds.
Which Metrics Do We Measure?
- TTFB (Time To First Byte): The time until the browser receives the first byte. It is the clearest indicator of server and hosting performance; under 200 ms is excellent.
- DNS Time: The time it takes to resolve the domain name to an IP.
- Connection Time: The time to complete the TCP/TLS handshake.
- Total Time & Size: The time for the document to download completely and the amount of data transferred.
How to Use It?
- Enter the full URL in the format
https://example.com. - Click Check; the measurement is made from our server to the target.
- If the TTFB value in particular is high, review your hosting infrastructure.
Tip: A high TTFB usually stems from a weak server, missing caching, or a remote location. With LiteSpeed-based SEO hosting you can lower your TTFB significantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the measurement differ from the time in my browser?
This test is run server-side for a single HTML document; it does not include sub-resources such as CSS/JS/images or the browser's rendering time. It is ideal for seeing pure server response performance.
What is a good TTFB value?
The generally accepted threshold is under 200 ms. 200–500 ms is acceptable, while above 600 ms requires improvement.
How do I improve my site's speed?
Caching (LiteSpeed Cache), a CDN, image optimization, an up-to-date PHP version, and a fast hosting infrastructure are the most effective steps.
