Is There A Tool Or Site Specifically To Check Page Load Time?

Liam Hamer · 02-02-2010, 05:18 AM

With one of my sites, all the images are slowing it down a little so I want to work on speeding it up. I'd like some kind of gauge so I know how fast it loads, and how it compares to other sites. I've heard Google is paying more attention to these factors recently, so the faster the better. Any help much appreciated

Google itself is providing a tool for it...ask google for "page speed firefox" (I am not allowed to post links).

All the best!

Thanks for all your suggestions

I installed and used the Google Code one, and it's absolutely fantastic. As I suspected, I get a lower score than the rest of the top 10 I'm competing with in the niche. They all get late 70's/80's and I get 71. I'm going to go through all the suggestions and fix everything I can, hopefully it might even get me higher up in the top 10. Thanks again
