This site is loaded several times per measurement, and one of those loads
— the accessibility pass — was answered with
Just a moment..., an automated-traffic check rather
than scottpdawson.com. It was tried twice.
The performance figures below are unaffected. The screenshots, filmstrip and without-JavaScript comparison are older results from the last load that reached the site, where there was one.

Lighthouse follows the redirect, so the numbers below describe the destination page, not this one. The redirect is temporary (302/303/307), so it is treated as a detour rather than a move and history stays here.
Lab data is measured using Lighthouse, Mobile mode unless otherwise specified. Field data is reported from Chrome UX Report (using p75 measurements).
