Google recently announced a new tool called Page Speed. Page
Speed measures the speed at which a web page loads in your browser.
It analyzes the webpage and makes a bunch of recommendations like
number of images, CSS, javascript files, minimizing round trip
times, minimizing request size, optimizing your caching semantics
and a dozen other best practices that Google has identified and
used in their own website.
Page speed is a tool should be used by web developers to
optimize their pages for faster load times. Page speed captures all
the best practices developed by Google in an easy to use
tool. Our TwinEngines developers use the tool when building
manufacturing websites and eCommerce websites.
Page Speed is an extension to a Firefox plugin called Firebug,
which makes it a plugin of a plugin. To use it you need the
following:
