SharePoint Online - Page Load Time
The SharePoint response time in my tenant is really very very slow and takes around 10 sec for as simple a task as selecting a library from quick launch.
a) Are there any performance benchmarks...
I believe you may be experiencing the slowness of SharePoint online because you are using Structural Navigation... Check your site settings, navigation, and see if this is the case
Here is a Microsoft article regarding Navigation options for SharePoint Online
and this app from Steve Peschka can also help https://www.office365mon.com/
Thanks so much.
The F12 (Dev Tools), Network tab does not show the "SPRequestDuration" value any longer, instead if we view the source of loaded page (Control + U) then it has following values:
For SharePoint pages:
var g_duration = 4606;
var g_iisLatency = 15;When we refresh the same page, the values changes to:
var g_duration = 5822;
var g_iisLatency = 7;When load a One-drive page (since One-drive is also SharePoint effectively), then the response is way better:
var g_duration = 194;
var g_iisLatency = 14So it's something to with just the SharePoint, but can not figure out what. We do not have much customization in SharePoint. Most of items we have in our SharePoint pages are out of the box.

We have the same problem with Structural Navigation and we are investigating how to work around it. You can use Managed Navigation and some other custom code solutions, but you will run into problems with permissions or not being able to hide items.
