Time your requests with curl

Finding out where most of a http’s request time is spent can be done with curl too:

1. create a curl output format file named time-fmt.txt with the following content:
   

   	time_namelookup: %{time_namelookup}\n
   	time_connect: %{time_connect}\n
   	time_appconnect: %{time_appconnect}\n
   	time_pretransfer: %{time_pretransfer}\n
   	time_redirect: %{time_redirect}\n
   	time_starttransfer: %{time_starttransfer}\n
   	----------\n
   	time_total: %{time_total}\n

   view raw time-fmt.txt hosted with ❤ by GitHub
2. Call curl like this:
   curl -w "@time-fmt.txt" -s "https://google.com" -o NUL


The results of this will look like this:
