Waterfall Chart
The waterfall chart displays the loading behaviour of your site in your selected browser. It can be used to discover simple issues such as 404's or
more complex issues such as external resources blocking page rendering.
Redirect 0ms
Connect 28ms
Backend 222ms
TTFB 250ms
First paint 423ms
Contentful paint 423ms
DOM int. 0.6s
DOM loaded 0.6s (4ms)
Onload 1.6s (1ms)
Redirect duration
This is the time spent redirecting URLs before the final HTML page is loaded. Common redirects
include:
Redirect from a non-www to www (eg. example.com to www.example.com)
Redirect to a secure URL (eg. http:// to https://)
Redirect to set cookies
Redirect to a mobile version of the site
Some sites may even perform a chain of multiple redirects (eg. non-www to www, then to a secure
URL). This timing is the total of all this time that's spent redirecting, or 0 if no redirects occurred.
In the Waterfall Chart, Redirect duration consists of the time from the beginning of the test until just before we start the request of the final HTML
page (when we receive the first 200 OK response).
During this time, the browser screen is blank! Ensure that this duration is kept to short by minimizing your redirects.
Connection duration
Once any redirects have completed, Connection duration is measured. This is the time spent
connecting to the server to make the request to the page.
Technically speaking, this duration is a combination of the blocked time, DNS time, connect time and
sending time of the request (rather than just connect time). We've combined those components into a
single Connection duration to simplify things (as most of these times are usually small).
In the Waterfall Chart, Connection duration consists of everything up to and including the "Sending"
time in the final HTML page request (the first 200 OK response).
During this time, the browser screen is still blank! Various causes could contribute to this, including a slow/problematic connection between the
test server and site or slow response times from the site.
Backend duration
Once the connection is complete and the request is made, the server needs to generate a response
for the page. The time it takes to generate the response is known as the Backend duration.
In the Waterfall Chart, Backend duration consists of purple waiting time in the page request.
There are a number of reasons why Backend duration could be slow. We cover this is our "Why is my
page slow" article.
ready (ie. DOM interactive) and there are no stylesheets blocking JavaScript execution.
If there are no stylesheets blocking JavaScript execution and there is no parser blocking JavaScript,
then this will be the same as DOM interactive time.
In the Waterfall Chart, it is represented by the blue line.
The time in brackets is the time spent executing JavaScript triggered by the DOM content loaded
event. Many JavaScript frameworks use this event as a starting point to begin execution of their code.
Since this event is often used by JavaScript as the starting point and delays in this event mean delays in rendering, it's important to make sure
that style and script order is optimized and that parsing of JavaScript is deferred.
Onload time
Onload time occurs when the processing of the page is complete and all the resources on the page
(images, CSS, etc.) have finished downloading. This is also the same time that DOM complete occurs
and the JavaScript window.onload event fires.
Note that there may be JavaScript that initiates subsequent requests for more resources, hence the
reason why Fully loaded timing is preferred.
In the Waterfall Chart, it is represented by the red line.
The time in brackets is the time spent executing JavaScript triggered by the Onload event.
Note that Onload time was the previous default for when to stop the test prior to Feburary 8th, 2017.
