Response time check
How long your homepage takes to answer. Under a second passes, one to three seconds is a warning, and over three seconds fails.
Check this on your own domain now. It is free with a DomainGuard account and works on any domain. The check reads only what your domain publishes, and gives you a report you can send to whoever runs your website.
What we look at
We time how long your homepage takes to answer our scanner, from the first request to the final page, following any redirects on the way.
Why it matters to your business
Slow sites lose visitors and rank lower in search. A slow first response usually means an overloaded or distant server, or a site doing too much work before it answers.
How to fix it
- Turn on caching in your CMS or host, and put a CDN such as Cloudflare in front of the site.
- Ask your host whether your plan is under-resourced.
If you would rather not touch DNS or server settings yourself, forward this page and your report to whoever manages your website, or ask us to do it.
