Caixin.com is a popular website in the category. According to the latest CWVIQ speed report, Caixin.com took 0.04 seconds to load the page. Anything over 5 seconds means that the website is too slow to load.
A slow load time could be due to a lot of things – poor network connectivity at your end, an unreliable hosting server, or a poorly optimized webpage.
First off, let’s look at a breakup of the loading time.
| DNS Lookup Time
(Time taken to lookup the IP address of the server) |
29.67 ms |
| TCP Connection
(Time taken to establish a connection between your server and the server where Caixin.com is hosted) |
5.32 ms |
| SSL Handshake
(Time taken to verify server credentials by comparing public key with its digital signature) |
0.06 ms |
| Server Processing
(Time it takes for the website’s server to process your request) |
7.83 ms |
| Content Transfer
(Time it takes for the requested data to be transmitted to your server) |
0.04 ms |
| TOTAL TIME |
0.04 seconds |
A high value for DNS lookup or TCP connection could be because of local settings, or internet connection.While a high server processing time or content transfer time could indicate issues with the website or its server.
We also studied the Caixin.com Lighthouse report to look at the site’s performance. Here is what we found.
| Speed Index – Time for the page content to be visibly populated |
12.4 s |
| Server response time |
33 ms |
| First Meaningful Paint – Time for the viewable content to be rendered to the user |
3.1 s |
How To Make Caixin.com faster
Here are the top 17 ways to make Caixin.com faster.
1. Largest Contentful Paint – 14.59 seconds
Largest Contentful Paint marks the time at which the largest text or image is painted.
2. Properly size images – 12.91 seconds
Serve images that are appropriately-sized to save cellular data and improve load time.
3. Speed Index – 12.38 seconds
Speed Index shows how quickly the contents of a page are visibly populated.
4. Time to Interactive – 11.13 seconds
Time to Interactive is the amount of time it takes for the page to become fully interactive.
5. Defer offscreen images – 11.12 seconds
Consider lazy-loading offscreen and hidden images after all critical resources have finished loading to lower time to interactive.
6. Serve images in next-gen formats – 10.02 seconds
Image formats like WebP and AVIF often provide better compression than PNG or JPEG, which means faster downloads and less data consumption.
7. Efficiently encode images – 7.37 seconds
Optimized images load faster and consume less cellular data.
8. Use video formats for animated content – 6.31 seconds
Large GIFs are inefficient for delivering animated content. Consider using MPEG4/WebM videos for animations and PNG/WebP for static images instead of GIF to save network bytes.
9. First Meaningful Paint – 3.13 seconds
First Meaningful Paint measures when the primary content of a page is visible.
10. Minimize main-thread work – 2.77 seconds
Consider reducing the time spent parsing, compiling and executing JS. You may find delivering smaller JS payloads helps with this.
11. First Contentful Paint – 2.62 seconds
First Contentful Paint marks the time at which the first text or image is painted.
12. Avoid multiple page redirects – 1.71 seconds
Redirects introduce additional delays before the page can be loaded.
13. JavaScript execution time – 1.19 seconds
Consider reducing the time spent parsing, compiling, and executing JS. You may find delivering smaller JS payloads helps with this.
14. Reduce unused JavaScript – 0.57 seconds
Reduce unused JavaScript and defer loading scripts until they are required to decrease bytes consumed by network activity.
15. Max Potential First Input Delay – 0.16 seconds
The maximum potential First Input Delay that your users could experience is the duration of the longest task.
16. Total Blocking Time – 0.06 seconds
Sum of all time periods between FCP and Time to Interactive, when task length exceeded 50ms, expressed in milliseconds.
17. Enable text compression – 0.04 seconds
Text-based resources should be served with compression (gzip, deflate or brotli) to minimize total network bytes.
In addition to these reasons, here are other ways to make Caixin.com faster.
Cumulative Layout Shift – 0.001
Cumulative Layout Shift measures the movement of visible elements within the viewport.
Avoid enormous network payloads – Total size was 24,317 KiB
Large network payloads cost users real money and are highly correlated with long load times.
Avoid an excessive DOM size – 1,696 elements
A large DOM will increase memory usage, cause longer
Serve static assets with an efficient cache policy – 78 resources found
A long cache lifetime can speed up repeat visits to your page.
