- Benefit: Helps identify and eliminate unnecessary redirects, which can speed up page load times.
2. DNS Lookup Time
- Description: Measures the time taken to resolve the domain name to an IP address.
- Benefit: Provides insights into DNS performance and helps identify issues that could be addressed with faster DNS services.
3. Connection Time
- Description: Captures the time taken to establish a connection to the server after the DNS lookup.
- Benefit: Highlights network latency issues that could be mitigated with better server configurations or hosting services.
4. Request Time
- Description: Calculates the duration from the initiation of the request to the server to the start of the server response.
- Benefit: Identifies delays in server response times, indicating potential areas for backend optimizations.
5. Response Time
- Description: Tracks the time from the server’s initial response to the completion of data transfer.
- Benefit: Provides insights into server performance and efficiency, suggesting where improvements can be made to reduce data transfer times.
6. DOM Processing Time
- Description: Measures the time taken to construct the DOM (Document Object Model) after the HTML document is received.
- Benefit: Helps identify and optimize heavy DOM manipulations or complex HTML structures that slow down page rendering.
7. HTML Parsing Time
- Description: Calculates the time taken to parse the HTML document.
- Benefit: Identifies inefficiencies in HTML parsing that can be optimized to improve overall load times.
8. Script Execution Time
- Description: Tracks the time taken to execute JavaScript on the page.
- Benefit: Highlights slow or blocking scripts that can be deferred or optimized to enhance page performance.
9. Content Loaded Time
- Description: Measures the time when the main content of the page is loaded and the DOMContentLoaded event is fired.
- Benefit: Indicates how quickly users can start interacting with the main content, which can be improved by optimizing critical rendering paths.
10. Sub Resources Loading Time
- Description: Tracks the time taken to load additional resources such as images, scripts, and stylesheets.
- Benefit: Identifies slow-loading resources that can be optimized, deferred, or lazy-loaded to improve overall load times.
11. Load Event Time
- Description: Measures the time when the load event is fired, indicating that the page and all its resources are fully loaded.
- Benefit: Provides a comprehensive overview of the total time taken for a page to be fully interactive and functional.
12. Total Load Time
- Description: Provides a summary of the total time taken for the page to fully load from start to finish.
- Benefit: Offers an overall performance metric that can be used to gauge the effectiveness of various optimization strategies and improvements over time.
