Assertwise Lab / API response time

API response time

API response time check: DNS, TLS, TTFB and p95

Send up to 10 sequential GET requests to an endpoint and see exactly how long each phase takes.

RUNS ON OUR SERVER

Limits: 10 checks per hour per IP, max. 10 light requests per run, ports 80/443 only, private and internal addresses are blocked. User-Agent: AssertwiseCheck/1.0. What we send and store.

How to read the result

High DNS or TLS times point to resolver or certificate-chain issues; a high TTFB with fast connect means the server itself is slow. The first request is often slower (cold connection, cache). Each request opens a new connection, so this is the worst case without keep-alive.

What this is not

Ten requests from one location are a spot check, not a performance test. Real latency budgets need load from realistic regions and traffic mixes – that is what a k6 load test is for.
