  • The metric secureConnectionStart is the moment in time immediately before the handshake process to secure the connection.

Why measure secureConnectionStart?

The main purpose of this is to create a more precise measurement of how long the secure handshake process takes.

Establishing the secure connection time

The TCP connection has three main timestamps that browsers provide. They are connectStart, secureConnectionStart 1 and connectEnd.

connectstart, secureconnectionstart and connectend

If we subtract secureConnectionStart from connectEnd we will have the SSL time.

SSL time = connectEnd - secureConnectionStart
