title: What does the times mean in Google Chrome's timeline in the network panel?
body: <p>Often when troubleshooting performance using the Google Chrome's network panel I see different times and often wonder what they mean.  </p>
  
  <p>Can someone validate that I understand these properly:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Blocking: Time blocked by browser's multiple request for the same domain limit(???)</li>
  <li>Waiting: Waiting for a connection from the server (???)</li>
  <li>Sending: Time spent to transfer the file from the server to the browser (???)</li>
  <li>Receiving: Time spent by the browser analyzing and decoding the file (???)</li>
  <li>DNS Lookup: Time spent resolving the hostname.</li>
  <li>Connecting:  Time spent establishing a socket connection.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Now how would someone fix long blocking times?</p>
