Time to First Byte
Measure HTTP time to first byte and repeat until interrupted.
Install
pip install lupaxa-time-to-first-byte
time-to-first-byte --help
CLI
time-to-first-byte --url https://example.com --count 5
ttfb -u https://example.com --delay 1 --timeout 5
python -m lupaxa.time_to_first_byte --version
The tool resolves the host, connects, negotiates TLS for HTTPS, sends an HTTP
request, and measures the time until the first response byte. It follows up to
10 redirects by default and repeats every second until Ctrl-C unless --count
is set.
Library
from lupaxa.time_to_first_byte import measure, run_measurements
one = measure("https://example.com", timeout=5.0)
print(one.ok, one.status, one.ttfb_ms)
summary = run_measurements("https://example.com", count=3, delay=0)
print(summary.total, summary.passed, summary.failed)
