Interpreting the Results

Top  Previous  Next

The speed dial indicates how fast the server responded to the data requests.

 

Green Band

 

0 to 1 second

Ideally the response time should be in the green band.  In the example above the response time was 22 milliseconds or 0.022 of a second.  This is a very good response time.

 

Yellow Band

 

1 to 2 seconds

This is slow but still acceptable.

Orange Band

 

2 to 3 seconds

This is too slow and it means there is a problem somewhere.  The most likely causes are anti-virus real-time scanning on the Server (or Host PC), the Server is busy doing some serious number crunching, the network traffic is high, the server's hard-disk is severely fragmented or nearly full, etc.

Red Band

 

More than 3 seconds

This is extremely slow and there is definitely something bad going on and could be an indication of hardware issues.

 

If the test result you get is in the green zone then this pretty much shows that data communication between the workstation and the Server or Host PC is very good and that you should be looking elsewhere for causes of any performance issues you are experiencing.  Putting it another way, whatever is causing performance issues is very likely something external to the PhonePad 5 system.
