Response Times

The response times tab updates in real-time to provide a top level view of URL response times during a crawl.

Response Times – A range of times in seconds to download the URL.
Number of URLs – Number of URLs encountered in the crawl in a particular Response Time range.
% of Total – Percentage of URLs in the crawl in a particular Response Time range.

Response time is calculated from the time it takes to issue an HTTP request and get the full HTTP response back from the server. The figure displayed on the SEO Spider interface is in seconds. Please note that this figure may not be 100% reproducible as it depends very much on server load and client network activity at the time the request was made.

This figure does not include the time taken to download additional resources when in JavaScript rendering mode. Each resource appears separately in the user interface with its own individual response time.

For thorough PageSpeed analysis, we recommend the PageSpeed Insights API integration.
