What is Page speed? Definition and explanations

Page speed is the time it takes for a page to become useful to the visitor. It depends on the weight and number of resources, server response, the network and the work the browser has to do. The measure that matters is not full load but the moment the main content becomes readable and the page responds to clicks.

In one sentence
