webpagetest.org - Slower Load on repeat view
Permalink
Hello Community :)
As anybody, I try to get my webprojects run as fast as they can and I recently found something that left me wondering.
One of the sites I've built that I experimented a lot with about speeding it up, shows a strange behaviour:
When runnign through webpagetest.org, it will load on first view at about 1.8 - 2 seconds, when loading on "repeat view", it will take 2.5 - 3.5secs to load.
How comes? I assumed that it would be quicker on repeat view as it uses the browser cache. I am not questioning the speed in generel, 1.8 seems fine to me, I would like to understand the difference :)
What seems to take more time on "repeat view" is Time to first Byte (<300ms on first view) and SSL negotiation.
When I turn of the caches, it adds about 300ms to the load time, nevertheless on first view or repeat view.
Any ideas? :)
