What is the recommended response time for a web page displayed in a browser?
I recommend a response time of less than 3 seconds and weight maximum of 30 KB .
While this already seems to be the duration and large sizes, sites like Amazon (with 107 KB) or Ebay (with 54 KB) does not follow that advice. Indeed, if the user is really interested in your site and he knows it will be ready to wait longer (but not too ...). Otherwise, a response time is too long you simply lose visitors.
If you want to know the response time of your site as it is actually received by Internet users visiting it, I advise you to use the monitoring service website internetVista.
With this service you will receive performance reports daily, weekly and monthly informing you of such average response times, maximum and minimum of your website. In addition, the monitoring service notifies you immediately via email and sms from any malfunction of your site.
Now that you know really the performance of your website, how can a page loads more quickly and more smoothly?
Well, make sure that your page appears in a phased manner:
Rather than having a page remains blank for a few seconds to appear at once ... choose a page that will fill up gradually to that the user does not have to wait for the download of the full page headed for the information of interest.
If you really want a picture (needed to navigation for example) appears before the rest of the page you can place it at the top of your html. Or if you just want it to appear quickly you can pre-load "by putting it at the top of your html (by hiding out of sight of the user at the start) and then posting it at the selected location.
Another technique is to make an image of "light" below your final image: you can reduce the maximum weight of your image (which will become slightly blurry and you can place on top of the html code for it to be downloaded first) and then add your final image then. You'll have a little blur effect that allows a view of your site before its final release.
On a more technical level here is an estimate of time needed to download the first 16 KB your web page. This result will vary depending on your hosting (shared or dedicated), protocol type (http, https, ...) etc..
Here the response time we recommend to http and https:
| Protocols | Super | Correct | Low |
| http | \u0026lt;300 ms | From 300 ms to 1000 ms | > 1000 ms |
| https | \u0026lt;400 ms | 400 ms to 1500 ms | > 1500 ms |
