   Mine supposedly loads in 0.85 secs.

   \o/

   that is good, it has a lot to do with the web host also.

3. Ramen Junkie on February 2nd, 2007 7:38 am

   Ironicly, that page seems to take quite a while to load.

   Me thinks I need to compress the content on my blog.

   01 engtech.wordpress.com 141.7 KB 0.79 seconds 0.01 seconds

5. Daniel on February 2nd, 2007 8:30 am

   engtech, that is a pretty good speed, you have a large page but at least it is loading fast!

6. menghua on February 2nd, 2007 9:05 am

   engtech.. that’s really fast!

   Seriously, I doubt the usage of this tool. The speed varies every time I click CHECK. How do they determine the speed anyway? Which location do they tested from? hmm…

   Much quicker than I expected but I make sure my homepages are quick to load. Sometimes I think that Google Analytics and Adsense slows a page’s loading time and I don’t think that these figures represent that.

   Very interesting tool. My main blog takes 6.72 secs to load. I’ll be interested in your post on how to shorten load times.

   Just came across this blog recently BTW. Good stuff here!

9. Daniel on February 2nd, 2007 10:23 am

   menghua, I think that the speed varies even for the same website due to network factors. The average speed should be consistent over the time, though.

    Follow Up:

    I was looking at this for my empuriabrava site and the Web Speed Test views the page as being 7.23kb in size. However, the elements that make the page are as follows:
    header = 0.94
    index = 5.96
    footer = 1.16
    image = 25.8
    css file = 6.8

    Total Page Size = 40.66kb - a big difference from the 7.23 being tested.

    Mike, you are right about the inconsistency regarding the file sizes. I guess the service only consider part of the website structure, say the HTML code.

    Check out this other service, it is not reliable for the speed but it seems to break down the files that composed your website:

    Hi Daniel,

    Excellent tool, I didn’t know it. From now on I will use constantly to check my site’s speed.

    Good advice as usual

13. engtech on February 2nd, 2007 1:17 pm

    My CSS file is 30k alone. I was shocked by the size, I didn’t pay attention to how fast the speed was.

    One of the tricks I just did to try and reduce bandwidth usage is moving to excerpts except for the main page. This is a big hack because I can’t actually edit the template to use excerpts (because I’m hosted on wordpress.com).

    I think my clean design is doing the trick, I have load time, 0,53 sec.

    Must be the fastest blog to load in Sweden.

    What should be average load time of any good site?
    It may be in seconds ?

30. Top10 on February 23rd, 2009 11:02 am

    Mine shows 0.09 & 0.1 sec for 58kb and 49kb sites. Can this tool be trusted?

    Hi,

    I thought I noticed something strange with the results so I decided to go back and check again. I am checking because I think weshop-youbuy.com is slow owing to the scripts running in the backgroud and size of site yet still growing.

    1 williamsusan.com 69.71 KB 15.96 seconds 0.23 seconds
    2 weshop-youbuy.com 73.69 KB 2.72 seconds 0.04 seconds

    I clicked “Check” again and this is what I got the second time.

    1 williamsusan.com 69.71 KB 2.13 seconds 0.03 seconds
    2 weshop-youbuy.com 73.69 KB 3.31 seconds 0.04 seconds

    The third time produced this

    1 williamsusan.com 69.71 KB 3.14 seconds 0.05 seconds

    2 weshop-youbuy.com 73.69 KB 2.77 seconds 0.04 seconds

    From what I can see, the load speeds are also affeded by the hosting server stress at that time being shared hosting.

    I’ve done some optimization but still look to speed up weshop-webuy.com some more

    Thanks

    William
