Test Web Loading Speed with Pingdom Tools

Here’s something I came across from Ades’s Blog. Pingdom Tools allows you to test the loading speed of your website. Just type in the URL and hit Test Now. Pingdom Tools will then mimic exactly the way your website is loaded on the web browser and output you in hierarchy the speed of each element. That includes the images, CSS, Javascripts, flash, RSS, etc.

Nobody like slow sites, therefore it’s really down to the webmaster to check and determine what is causing the slowness and perform optimization from there. With Pingdom, I guess it pretty straight forward. Pingdom also provides website monitoring services. A trial account will give you 30 days of web monitoring plus 20 free sms alerts directly to your cellphone.

    Thanks for the lead! I just used it because my blog took forever (3.5 seconds) to load. Found out from Pingdom that it was the map of Asia I used to explain where Malaysia. Made me notice how just 3.5 seconds can feel like forever though.

    I would also recommend this online free tool: http://Site-Perf.com/

    It measure loading speed of page and it’s requisites (images/js/css) like browsers do and shows nice detailed chart – so you can easily spot bottlenecks.

    Also very useful thing is that this tool is able to verify network quality of your server (packet loss level and ping delays).
