About Website response time

Time how quickly a website answers, split into DNS lookup, connection, SSL handshake, server wait (time to first byte) and download. The breakdown shows where delay comes from. A slow server wait suggests backend or hosting trouble, while slow DNS or SSL points to network setup.

How to use Website response time

  1. Type the website address.
  2. Run the test.
  3. Read the timings for DNS, connection, SSL, server wait and download.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good time to first byte?

Under about 200 to 500 milliseconds is generally considered good. Slower results usually come from heavy server processing, no caching or a far-away server.

Which timing shows a slow server?

The server wait time is the gap between sending the request and getting the first byte back. A long wait here points to slow application code, database work or an overloaded host.

Why do results change between tests?

Network conditions, server load and caching change from moment to moment. Run it a few times and compare, rather than relying on a single number.
