How to Test your Websites Loading Speed

After stripping and streamlining my xhtml, css, javascript, php and images for the design and launch of the new website i thought id do a little hunting for a decent website speed checker.

I managed to find ‘Web Page Analyzer‘ which is a free web page analysis tool that calculates page size, composition, and download time and gives speed recommendations based on best practices for usability, HCI, and website optimisation.

This was not only good for showing the data that i was after but it highlighted files that were larger than first expected and pointed out a couple of small but non important errors.

Give it a go.
