How do i find out what is slowing down my page load in IE7

http://shanamccormick.com

The page loads all the images and then says "(1 item remaining) Waiting on http:// shanamccormick com..." How can i see what it is waiting to load here?? and why does it take sooo long?

The index.html file uses a couple small internal JS and one external JS located within my website (jquery.min) The size of the external JS file is 54kb.

IE8 has a Javascript profiler, like Firebug for Firefox. But I think you need Fiddler to profile the performance of the HTTP request/response.

If you want the Javascript developer tools (including profiler) I recommend moving to IE8, but if you can't, IE7 has downloadable dev tools, like IE8's built-in capability.

The page doesn't exist anymore? or is it: shanamccormick.com ? misstype?

Anyway I've found that googles IE8.js (for IE7 and less) (https://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/) takes up to 1 minute to load (on a computer from that time) every page load... could that have been the problem?

I have a few solutions that might help. I learned of these from another question I asked earlier:

  • Firebug Lite is a JavaScript file you can insert into your pages to simulate some Firebug features in browsers that are not named "Firefox". Firebug Lite creates the variable "firebug" and doesn't affect or interfere with HTML elements that aren't created by itself.

  • WebWait is a website timer. Use WebWait to benchmark your website or test the speed of your web connection. Timing is accurate because WebWait pulls down the entire website into your browser, so it takes into account Ajax/Javascript processing and image loading which other tools ignore.

  • Also, the IE JavaScript Real Performance Tester can test your scripts.

Hope these help!
