1. say we have a site with static html and some php, some videos and photos. so it consists of some files that load to your computer when you try to open a website. all those files have constant definite size, that can be measured. thats the kind of sites that all those ping tools usually work with. they all assume that once all files are loaded - site is ready. right?

2. now our sites. first we send static html page (“snapshot”) to customer computer in order to render some graphics before the loading. the we send core js packs - that unpack and then start checking what page, menu options and content settings are applied to this particular site, then we check whether we show some live shows scheduled banners, do we need to display any on site notifications, etc, etc. to an end-user the site should be looking as loaded say on the second step - the rest of the processes are running in the background and shouldn’t affect user experience. but all these testing tools - they simply dont know alot of these things.
