+| `queuing`            | Socket pool queuing time. The socket has been assigned to the request.               |
+| `dnslookup`          | DNS lookup completed (only on first request of a new socket, `0` on reused sockets). |
+| `connected`          | TCP (or TLS) connection is established.                                              |
+| `requestHeadersSent` | Request headers have been written to the socket.                                     |
+| `requestSent`        | Full request (headers + body) has been sent.                                         |
+| `waiting`            | Time to First Byte (TTFB). Response headers have been received.                      |
+| `contentDownload`    | Response body and trailers have been fully received.                                 |

+> **Note**: `dnslookup` is `0` when the socket is reused from the pool (keep-alive), since no DNS resolution occurs.
