Page Execution Time

Hey guys-

I'm just curious... what's a ballpark figure for a normal page execution time? I realize this will vary a lot from site to site based on what's going on, I'm just curious when I should start to worry about it. When will it get to a point that users notice it?

What time do you mean?

What time are you referring to? The time PHP/Python/SQL/Your script takes to generate the page? The time it takes to render in a browser?

For rendering in a browser no page should take longer than 10 seconds on average. Something closer to 4 seconds or less is what I shoot for.

If you are talking about the time it takes for scripts to render a page this can vary. I try to keep mine well under a second.

Does this help? Many times there are way to increase performance by just changing the configuration of your server.

Shoulda clarified

I guess I should have clarified. I had enabled "display page time" in devel module, so on the bottom of every page it says something like "Page execution time was 267.35 ms."

your in the clear

If your page load times are that small you're in the clear.
