You should be concerned if your page is slower than 6-8 sec in our test, because such a page will take more than 60 sec to load for your DSL
users, longer than most of them are likely to wait.

What is the "true speed" of my server?
The "measured speed", shown in red at the top of this page is pretty close to the actual speed of your server. Here is why: Our speed
monitor accesses the Internet via a 10 Mbps T3 connection. At this throughput, a 50 Kb page will load in about 0.04 seconds, and a 500 Kb
page (we don't recommend such a huge size), in 0.4 sec. Your page takes much much longer to load (typically 100-1000 times longer), because
your server (or its hosting infrastructure) can deliver the page only at a fraction of the speed at which the Internet can transmit it, or
our speed monitor can receive it. In other words, the speed bottleneck is virtually never on our end, but at the source, your server.
Therefore, our "measured speed" is substantially the speed of your web server.
