Pingdom: Web Page Loading Time Tester

One of the more common topics that occurs in the Ajax/DOM/JS space is page load times. This is especially important to the jQuery team and one of the reasons we go to great lengths to keep the library at about 20k total size.

Which leads to Pingdom Tools

The only drawback is that you can't use Pingdom for intranet testing. If anyone knows of a good application (other than FireBug) or method of testing page load times in an intranet environment, I'd love to hear about it.

FireBug does have similar functionality but this is a nice alternative to cross-reference with.

I would also recommend this free online website performance testing 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.
It’s very detailed and accurate, supports a lof of features like Keep-Alive or HTTP-compression.

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