What is Page Speed?
Page speed refers to how fast a webpage loads and displays its content to users. It is measured in terms of:
- Page Load Time – The total time it takes for a webpage to fully load.
- Time to First Byte (TTFB) – The time it takes for the server to send the first byte of data.
- First Contentful Paint (FCP) – The time when the first visible content appears.

CONCLUSION:
Your page speed test evaluates two things:First, the loading speed of your site. Secondly, the page speed test considers how responsive your website is. When you complete a page speed test, your server response time will be measured, as well as other factors such as browser rendering and network latency.
