Coefficient Applied

This hosting provider's website did not return full HTML content due to bot protection. HTML size was measured as 17KB (under 100KB). Since reliable "Time to 1MB" data could not be obtained, a +249ms coefficient was applied to maintain ranking fairness.

Coefficient Calculation Formula
penalty = (100 - 17) × 2 + 100 (block page) = +249ms
