This reports shows which resources were the slowest performers during this load test. The columns in the report are:
- Resource
- Number of Requests for this Resource
- Average Size
- Average Response Time
- Maximum Response Time
The rows are sorted by Average Response Time, so this report quickly shows you which resource requests take the longest time to fulfill. You will notice that it is common for some resources to have a faster average response, but have one or two requests that took much longer. These outliers may be important to your application tuning, or they may be insignificant anomalies. That’s why we focus on the slowest resources on average. That tells us that they are consistently at the top of our performance concerns.
For example, in the sample report below, the “/performance-testing-articles” page was requested 17 times during the test, and on average its response was received in about 400ms. But at least one of the requests took over 3,600ms to receive the page. You can examine the load test raw data (see CSV download) to find out how many times this occurred and what the volume was at that point in time.
Here is a sample report:
