The following are terms used in load test reporting
Requests: The number of total number of requests for each page.
Successful hits: The number of successful hits. WebKing defines successful hits as hits
that resulted in an HTTP status code below 400; it defines unsuccessful
hits as hits that resulted in an HTTP status code of 400 or higher. For a
complete list of HTTP status codes, see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/
rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.
Size: The number of bytes in each page element (each image, HTML file, style
sheet file, and so on).
Total size: The total size of the page in which each item appears. For example, the
total size of an HTML page that contains 4 images will include the size of
the HTML file, plus the size of each image.
Network time: The total roundtrip time for the "ping" (the time it took a signal to travel
from the client, to the server, and back to the client).
Response time: The time it took for the server to process the request (excluding network
latency). Response time is calculated by taking the time until the first byte
arrives and subtracting the network time measurement.
Total Response time: For an item that has subitems, it is the sum of its own response time
plus the response time of all its subitems excluding network time. For example, an html page with
images Total Response time would be:
Response time of html page + Response time of each image
Loading time: The time it took to load each page element (each element, HTML file,
style sheet file, and so on), based on the time that elapsed between the
moment the first byte was loaded and the moment the last byte was
loaded. (The time until the first byte arrives is based on the network time
measurement plus the response time measurement.)
Total loading time: The time it took to load the entire page in which each item appears. For
example, the total loading time of an HTML page that contains 4 images
will include the time it took to load the HTML file, plus the time it took to
load each image.
If the page does not contain subitems, this measurement is calculated as
follows:
network time + response time + loading time
If the page contains subitems, this measurement is calculated as follows:
main page?s total loading time + sum of all subitems? total loading times
Processing time: The time it took to parse each HTML file.
Loading rate: The loading rate (in kilobytes per second) for each item. This is determined
by dividing the size measurement by the loading time measurement.
Processing rate: The processing rate (in kilobytes per second) for each HTML file. This is
determined by dividing the size measurement by the processing time
measurement.

Requests: The number of total number of requests for each page.
Successful hits: The number of successful hits. WebKing defines successful hits as hits
that resulted in an HTTP status code below 400; it defines unsuccessful
hits as hits that resulted in an HTTP status code of 400 or higher. For a

the HTML file, plus the size of each image.

Total Response time: For an item that has subitems, it is the sum of its own response time
plus the response time of all its subitems excluding network time. For example, an html page with
images Total Response time would be:
Response time of html page + Response time of each image
Loading time: The time it took to load each page element (each element, HTML file,
style sheet file, and so on), based on the time that elapsed between the
moment the first byte was loaded and the moment the last byte was
loaded. (The time until the first byte arrives is based on the network time

Total loading time: The time it took to load the entire page in which each item appears. For
example, the total loading time of an HTML page that contains 4 images
will include the time it took to load the HTML file, plus the time it took to
load each image.
If the page does not contain subitems, this measurement is calculated as
follows:
network time + response time + loading time
If the page contains subitems, this measurement is calculated as follows:
main page?s total loading time + sum of all subitems? total loading times
Processing time: The time it took to parse each HTML file.
Loading rate: The loading rate (in kilobytes per second) for each item. This is determined
by dividing the size measurement by the loading time measurement.
Processing rate: The processing rate (in kilobytes per second) for each HTML file. This is
determined by dividing the size measurement by the processing time
measurement.
