You can view the response time contributions for individual pages to determine how much
time was actually taken by the page to load and the time taken for the connection to go through and
the delay on the client side of each page.
Because page elements can be returned in parallel from
the server under test, the page response time is not necessarily the sum of the page element
response times. Client delay and connection time also contribute to page response time. The
page response time can be greater than the sum of the page element response times if, for
example, a lengthy connection time adds a delay. Connection time includes the time required
for Domain Name Services (DNS) lookups. Conversely, the page response time can be less than
the sum of the page element response times if multiple page elements are returned in parallel.

On the Page Performance report, click a page (represented by a bar) and click Page
Response Time Contributions.
The Page Response Time Contributions report shows the average response time taken for
Connection Time, Client Delay Time, and Page Element Response Time.
