Evaluate the response time
That is, the time it takes the server to return a certain web page when it is queried by an online user. Specifically, the response time (or response time) photographs the seconds spent to send an HTTP request and obtain the complete response from the server.
Screaming Frog returns this metric by organizing each evaluated resource in the interface presented to the user . Of course with the response time recorded for the individual entry.
What is all this for? First of all, to understand if it is time to change hosting, since one of the main causes of a slow response time is the presence of services with hardware and software that are not adequate for your needs. And that lead to slower response times for the user.
Image Sizes
This is a very interesting point. Through the Screaming Frog scan you can indicate the limit to evaluate for the size of the images. By default the maximum limit is set to 100 Kb, but you can change it. In this way you have the possibility of discovering any very heavy visuals and deciding on any compression. There is no right size a priori, you have to evaluate the individual case.
That's why, in addition to the filter that imposes a limit on russia phone numbers
images, in the search dedicated only to the visual (shown by the video) you can also organize the content based on size and manage a more accurate reflection on the optimal weight of the images . Which remains one of the fundamental factors to improve.
