5

HTTP status code

The returned status code from the server e.g 200, 302, 500.

6

URL Offset ms

The time Offset in milliseconds from when the URL was initiated by the browser relative to the first URL on the Step.

7

Blocked duration ms

The time the URL is blocked (aka Queued By Browser) inside of the browser before it is executed, e.g a DNS or Connect is fired.

8

DNS lookup duration ms

11

Wait duration ms

The time it took for the target system to return the first response, which is the Response Headers.

12

Receive duration ms

The time it took for the complete response to be returned from the target system, including headers + content.

13

Response time ms

The total network response time for this URL. (DNS Lookup + Connect + Send + Wait + Receive).

14

Received bytes

The amount of uncompressed bytes received from the server.

15

Content mime type

MIME type of the response content.

16

Blocked url offset ms

The offset of the Blocked timing relative from when the URL was started (timestamp).

17

DNS lookup URL offset ms

The offset of the DNS Lookup timing relative from when the URL was started (timestamp).

18

Connect URL offset ms

The offset of the Connect timing relative from when the URL was started (timestamp).

19

Send URL offset ms

20

Wait offset ms

The offset of the Wait timing relative from when the URL was started (timestamp).

21

Receive URL offset ms

The offset of the Receive timing relative from when the URL was started (timestamp).

22

Step duration ms

What the current Step duration is on this url to retrieve the final Step duration, find the MAX(Step Duration ms) among all URLs in this Step.
