Question: How can I diagnose a slow loading website – for free and easily?
So you have a website or a blog and it takes forever to load but you have no idea if it is your 800 images or your mp3′s playing in the background or wait…
Maybe its the 192 scripts you have running. Sound familiar?
Well we got a free website for you!
http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/
From Their Site:
Try our free web site speed test to improve website performance. Enter a URL below to calculate page size, composition, and download time. The script calculates the size of individual elements and sums up each type of web page component. Based on these page characteristics the script then offers advice on how to improve page load time. The script incorporates best practices from HCI research and web site optimization techniques into its recommendations.
You know AtA has mad love for free web based apps right? So this one will let you plug in your html or point it to a url. It will tell you where your load times are going and where you are hanging.
