Catch “performance theater” in the wild (Fake-Fast Lite)
You know the site: homepage flies, everything else drags. That’s edge-cache cosplay—a CDN HIT plastered over a slow origin and a script buffet.
Fake-Fast Lite gives you fast receipts you can quote:
TTFB (approx.) via streamed first byte
Edge/CDN tells like cf-cache-status, via, x-cache, server-timing
DOM weight hints: script counts (inline vs external), stylesheet count
A plain-English verdict: Looks Clean / Borderline / Likely Fake-Fast
It’s a heuristic, not a lab. Perfect for triage, call-outs, and “show me” moments before you spin up WebPageTest.

Drop URLs that “feel fast” on the homepage but stall one click later. Bonus points if Lighthouse passes yet your users rage-click.
