Onsight means on first look, you go to the crag, see route, climb it from bottom to top without falling. Lots of us do that, in fact perhaps all of us have done that.
If you are lucky the holds will be chalked which helps of course, if you are unlucky the holds will not be chalked...making it more difficult....in some cases.
Clearly some onsights are harder than others, that's just how it is.
Stick that in your grading pipe.
