Why is my page so slow?
Common causes of slow page delivery are: low server throughput,
poor hosting environment, programming issues, inapropriate page
design, slow database lookup, and slowness of other servers
required to complete the page.
Does this test reflect the speed of my server or of
your monitor?
Our monitor has a 10 Mbps T3 connection. At this speed, a 50 Kb page
will load in about 0.04 sec -- if your web server could deliver it that
fast. But it usually can't, and the HTTP overhead slow things further.
Also, remember that what's significant is not the absolute speed reported
here, but the speed relative to other sites. So always compare it to our
benchmarks.
Will my users see the kind of speed reported here?
No! Your users (except those with T3 connections) will experience
significantly lower speed than reported by this test, due to their
slower connection.
We welcome your questions or comments.
