python获取get请求的耗时时间,使用Python请求衡量网站加载时间

I'm trying to build a tool for testing the delay of my internet connection, more specifically web site load times. I thought of using the python requests module for the loading part.

Problem is, it's got no built-in functionality to measure the time it took to get the full response. For this I thought I would use the timeit module.

What I'm not sure about is that if I run timeit like so:

t = timeit.Timer("requests.get('http://www.google.com')", "import requests")

I'm I really measuring the time it took the response to arrive or is it the time it takes for the request to be built, sent, received, etc? I'm guessing I could maybe disregard that excecution time since I'm testing networks with very long delays (~700ms)?

Is there a better way to do this programatically?

As for your question, it should be the total time for

time to create the request object

Send request

Receive response

Parse response (See comment from Thomas Orozco )

Other ways to measure a single request load time is to use urllib:

nf = urllib.urlopen(url)

start = time.time()

page = nf.read()

end = time.time()

nf.close()

# end - start gives you the page load time
