How to interprete the page response time?

Hi Eric,

The fact is that LoadComplete doesn't use the cache at all. It always loads all the resources (images, scripts, and so on) used by the page from the server. However, when you use Firefox, the browser doesn't use the cache only for the first page. After the first page is loaded, the browser starts loading common resources from the cache, but not from the server. This makes the page be loaded faster.

Also, browsers typically load page resources using several threads. Such parallel loading also reduces the overall page load time. However, LoadComplete loads page resources in turn (in consecutive order), and this fact can also influence the page load time shown in the attached image.

I hope this information helps :)
