Guideline on how to interpret the results:
HTML Page Weight:
The smaller your page sizes, the faster load times you will achieve. Average web
pages today is in the region of 250 kB - this size pages is however unaceptable
for slower internet connections. Different types of rendering methods, and the use
of div's instead of tables, may give the impression of faster load times. Photo
galary pages on the other hand, will allways be big.
< 50 kB Acceptable |
Your pages are not too big and will load in a reasonable time. |
< 80 kB Caution |
Look at reducing or compression the size of the page. |
> 80 kB Warning |
Load time may be unacceptable. The user may have left the webpage even before it has
finished loading. |
Load Time:
Some users are patient and others impatient. If your page size is small,
but your webpage loads slowly, your server may be overloaded.
< 10 s Acceptable |
Your webpage loads in a reasonable time. Most users will wait for the page to load. |
< 20 s Caution |
Users will leave if they can get similar content elsewhere faster. |
> 20 s Warning |
Unacceptable, unless your webpage is a special case - reporting tool, photo gallery,
page contains long documents etc. |
Average Speed Per KiloByte:
The average speed per KiloByte determines how fast your server can serve
up pages. The smaller this value, the better. However, at some points in time your
server may experience some load, at which time this value might appear higher. If
this value appears high constantly, your server may be a bottleneck - you should
then consider moving your website to another server or host.
< 0.25 s Acceptable |
No load is being experienced, or latency in connection. |
< 0.4 s Caution |
Smaller pages will still load in a reasonable time. |
> 0.4 s Warning |
Your server may be experiencing some load, or latency in connection. |
