Do they test full rendering time or only RTT? Also it would be useful to know IP addresses from which test request are being made. Tested a site hosted in Hetzner and got 135ms latency from Frankfurt which is unexpectedly high. Ping RTT from some US east networks to this site is around 120-150ms, how it shows the same latency within DE?

Just RTT - it downloads the whole webpage content (equivalent of running curl <url>)

I run the checks via AWS Lambda for now, might put it somewhere more stable like Hetzner/DigitalOcean for better accuracy.
