Performance

Website Speed Test

Measure how fast a page really loads: time to first byte, total load time, page weight in KB, whether compression and caching are switched on and if the server supports HTTP/2 or newer, each with a simple grade. It turns raw performance numbers into a clear scorecard.

What the speed test measures

This tool loads a URL and reports the metrics that decide how fast a site feels. It captures time to first byte, the delay before the server starts responding, and total load time, how long the full response takes. It weighs the page in kilobytes so you can see how heavy it is, and it checks whether compression with gzip or brotli is enabled, whether caching headers are set, and whether the server speaks HTTP/2 or newer. Each area comes with a grade, so you get an at-a-glance read on where things stand and what to fix first.

How to use it

  • Enter the URL you want to test.
  • Start with TTFB, since a slow first byte points to server or hosting issues.
  • Check page weight and compression together to find bloat that can be trimmed.
  • Confirm caching and HTTP/2 support, which speed up repeat and parallel loading.
  • Use the grades to prioritize the changes with the biggest payoff.

The measurements come from a live request, giving you a real snapshot of current performance.

Why it matters

Speed is not a vanity metric. Faster pages keep visitors engaged, convert better and rank higher, while a slow site loses people before they ever see your content. TTFB exposes hosting and backend problems, page weight and compression reveal wasted bandwidth, and caching plus HTTP/2 determine how efficiently everything is delivered. Seeing these together with grades makes it obvious where to focus rather than guessing. At Digzy Technology, our studio in Bali, Indonesia, we tune these exact numbers on every site and store we build, because performance is something users feel immediately. Whether you are optimizing a launch or diagnosing a sluggish page, a quick test shows you what is slowing things down and where the easy wins are.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a good time to first byte?
A TTFB under about 200 milliseconds is excellent, and under 500 milliseconds is generally acceptable. Higher values usually point to slow hosting, heavy backend work or missing caching.
Why does page weight matter so much?
Every kilobyte has to travel to the visitor, and heavier pages load slower, especially on mobile networks. Trimming images and enabling compression is often the fastest way to speed a site up.
What does enabling compression actually do?
Compression with gzip or brotli shrinks text-based files like HTML, CSS and JavaScript before they are sent, often cutting their size dramatically. It is one of the simplest, highest-impact speed improvements.
Does HTTP/2 support really make a difference?
Yes. HTTP/2 and newer protocols load multiple resources over a single connection more efficiently, reducing delays compared to older HTTP/1.1, which is especially noticeable on resource-heavy pages.
