It\u2019s no secret that a website\u2019s load time<\/strong> is a huge factor in usability. This also affects your site\u2019s Google rankings<\/strong>, so your page speed is definitely worth optimizing.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s a competitor you\u2019re trying to outrank, one metric you might analyze is page speed<\/strong>. And, with a tool like Duoload<\/a><\/strong>, you can check the speed of two pages simultaneously<\/strong>, right from your browser.<\/p>\n

This is one of the few tools I\u2019ve found where you can study page loading times together in a single window. You can watch how they render<\/strong> and which page elements load first<\/strong> on both sites.<\/p>\n

The loading process is controlled through a single button<\/strong>, so you press it once to load both websites at the same time. Pretty neat!<\/p>\n

I would love to see an extra feature to set a custom proxy or IP to load from different countries. But for now, you can only get this to work if you run traffic through a VPN<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Still, Duoload is quite valuable because it also lets you browse around the websites to see the difference in page speeds. This way you can gauge the overall user experience<\/strong> between two different sites and check your site against other competitors.<\/p>\n

\"Duoload<\/a><\/figure>\n

This is a super basic web app but it leaves plenty of room for customization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You can find all the source code<\/strong> for free on GitHub<\/a> to download a copy and even host it yourself. This lets you edit the app<\/strong> to include any changes to the JavaScript for tracking load times, large HTTP assets, and even adding a 3rd website pane into the mix.<\/p>\n

If you have suggestions for extra features or want to share some love, you can always drop a line to the creator Lea Verou on her Twitter @LeaVerou<\/a>.<\/p>\n
