I have a large number of Indian visitors to my blog. While I get extremely good tests results when I set the webpagetest location in the US, the speeds for India are horrendous!
When I check to see what’s holding it up, there are large unexplained gaps in the timeline where nothing seems to be happening. No connection, no download, no waiting.
I would appreciate any insight into what’s causing these problems. I have no idea whether these timings are representative of my users in India or a specific issue with the test itself for some reason…
It seems to be some kind of issue with the testing infrastructure. I asked some individuals living in India to check out a few pages and they said it was quite fast. Nowhere near the 25+ seconds I’m getting from webpagetest.
I’m very interested to know the cause of this discrepancy.
