Description

Your question

I executed sitespeed scripts for a webpage to capture the loading time. I observed the fully loaded time as 5 seconds, whereas when I checked the waterfall graph, none of the requests took more than 1 second, and the entire loading completed within 1 second.

Can you please let me know why it is showing extra time even though the waterfall shows that the page loading happened within 1 second?

Research direction

Start by comparing the fully loaded time reported by the sitespeed scripts with the request timings shown in the attached waterfall screenshots. The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first identify where these metrics are calculated and documented; done means explaining the discrepancy or reproducing a confirmed timing bug.
