Across 765,536 websites with measurable response times, the average server response time is 15,176ms with a median of 10,865ms. 0.6% of sites respond in under 500ms (fast), while 93.6% take over 2 seconds (slow).
Technology choice significantly impacts website performance. Remix sites are among the fastest with the lowest average response times, while Wix sites tend to have higher response times. However, many factors beyond technology affect speed, including hosting infrastructure, optimization, and geographic location.
The average page size is 141 KB, and 78.7% of websites use response compression (gzip/brotli). Compression can reduce transfer sizes by 60-80%, making it one of the easiest performance improvements a website can make.
Website speed is a critical ranking factor for search engines and directly impacts user experience and conversion rates. Studies show that every 100ms increase in load time can reduce conversions by up to 7%.
