How can you measure the website loading speed?

The website loading speed can be measured using various metrics and tools:

• Time to First Byte (TTFB) — the time from the request to receiving the first byte of response from the server.
• Full Page Load Time — when all resources (images, scripts, styles) are loaded.
• First Contentful Paint (FCP) — the time when the browser first rendered any content.
• Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) — the time it takes to load the largest visible element.
• Total Blocking Time (TBT) — the time during which the user cannot interact with the site.

Tools for measurement include:

• Google Lighthouse — a built-in Chrome tool for performance auditing.
• WebPageTest — an online service with detailed metrics.
• Chrome DevTools — the Performance tab for load analysis.

Example of using Lighthouse in Chrome:

1. Open the website in Chrome.
2. Press F12, go to the "Lighthouse" tab.
3. Run the audit and get a report with loading speed metrics.
