How do I test the performance of my webpage

Are there any tools, websites that will allow you to test your website performance like load time, render time and what can be done to make it better. I know there is an addon called YSLOW for firebug. but I am just wondering if there is anything more than that.

My personal favorite: webpagetest.org, a free online service which allows to:

  • provide your URL (and username/pwd if needed)
  • choose browser (ie 7, 8 or 9, chrome or firefox, depending on location)
  • choose connection type
  • choose location from which to run the test
  • choose the number of runs
  • ... (a whole lot of other configuration)

and which produces:

  • detailed view of each request (with nice graphs)
  • solid advice on how to improve

New Relic does end to end monitoring. Standard version is free for Rackspace customers.

Most browsers have a built in inspector. At least Opera, Chrome, and IE.

Firebug for Firefox

Fiddler will help you inspect actual HTTP requests

Google's done some work with Page Speed

Of course you know about YSlow, which follow's Yahoo's Guidelines

Pingdom's monitoring solution will tell you worldwide how fast it can get TTLB, and they give you one free check.

Blitz will let you do load testing

Google Chrome - right click on a page on your website and choose "Inspect element"

Some Network stats for this page:

And an Audit on this page that shows possible optimizations:
