Page load time help

Hello,



I'm pretty new to the load testing side and have been running through the LoadComplete evaluation.  So far I really like what I see.  My biggest question is deciphering the load test report.  Right now I'm running some tests on a .NET news website.  The home page has several flash plugins and other widgets.  Here are some of the numbers I'm getting in the load test report;



Page Load Time

Average - 1m 42.13s

Maximum - 4m 41.43s

Minimum -  0.04s



Time to First Byte

Average - 0.21s

Maximum - 5.13s

Minimum - 0.03s



Time to Last Byte

Average - 0.22s

Maximum - 5.16s

Minimum - 0.04s



The Page Load Time is what's throwing me off.  On the summary page, it show's the max as over 4 minutes but when I go to the graph section, I see a couple of spikes to 102sec.  What numbers should I be really looking at to spot any bottlenecks?



Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    Hi Todd,

    If you suppose that this behavior is incorrect, pack the folder containing your test project and post the archive - we'll take a look. If you want to get personalized assistance, you can submit a new support case using our Contact Support form.
