Problems with host response speed

I just did a website speed test and the page was fully rendered in just over 400 ms. And most of that time is taken up by the initial request being in the Blocked state for 250 ms, which is just the speed test tool waiting for stuff.

And that’s for 1.7 MB of content, not 49 kB.

When you run the same test from Brazil, it’s a lot slower of course (Pingdom reports almost 2.5 seconds), but the test from London proves that that’s caused exclusively by the distance, not the hosting itself being slow.

Also, for Google to reject your website (for what exactly?), it must be EXTREMELY slow. Much slower than any of these tests show.
