Page 1: Minimal Baseline Test
Test Focus: This page has minimal resources (1 CSS, 1 JS) to establish baseline DNS, TCP, TLS, and TTFB measurements without resource loading overhead.

About This Test
This is the baseline test page with minimal content. It loads only the essential CSS and JavaScript files needed for performance monitoring. This allows us to measure pure network timing without the complexity of loading multiple resources.
What We're Measuring
- DNS Lookup Time: How long it takes to resolve the domain name to an IP address
- TCP Connection: Time to establish a TCP connection with the server
- TLS Handshake: Time for SSL/TLS negotiation (HTTPS)
- Time to First Byte (TTFB): How long until the server starts responding
- Response Time: How long it takes to download the HTML
- DOM Processing: Browser's time to parse and render the page
Expected Results
On the first visit, you should see measurable DNS and TCP times. On subsequent visits from the same browser, these might be cached (showing 0ms or very low values). If Safari consistently shows higher times than Chrome, we've identified a browser-specific difference.
