Maybe it's me but their test seems to hate sites hosted in europe. (Strato, Germany)
First I tested my site's landing page:
43/100 - ok, no SSL, so HTTP2 and 367ms TTFB - I also apparently committed the capital sin of including a 160kb CSS file (foundation) without stripping it. Serves those 5 visitors per month well!
Comparison: 66(mobile)/77(desktop) of 100 from Google PageSpeed Insights (with more useful hints what to fix) and 75/100 from tools.pingdom.com (224kb incl JS and CSS is apparently still too big and missing caching/Vary header).
But now my gripe:
Same host, https, an empty page with 0b - only gets 72/100 because of missing HTTP2 and slow TTFB of 185ms.
Insights doesn't even render this page and it gets 83/100 from Pingdom.
Faster than 99% of sites, 0B and still only 83/100. I think most of these metrics are a bit off...
Edit: just amended my empty test page to be exactly 200 bytes and be real html.
Insights: 100/100, Pingdom: 100/100, Netlify: 0/100 because 1067ms TTFB
- davidandgoliath 10y agoNetlify's testing site is fraudulent — yeah, I said it, let me know if you need my legal contact. a) they're testing from within their network (bullshit). b) they purport that you'll get 6ms ttfb if hosted on netlify. Dishonest. I've intentionally imported sites to remote hosts, and tested them there — they performed better away from netlify, and, netlify's speed testing tool gave them bad scores, despite them performing better than the same site hosted on netlify. Oh well. They've got some nice tools, if it weren't for their fraudulent testing tool.
