YSlow is good for measuring page render time, using your computer and internet connection and provider meaning it might not mirror where your end-users are coming from geographically and from a network perspective.
There are companies you can use to measure performance of a webpage from various geographies, networks, and internet connections available from pingdom, Keynote, Gomez and other companies
- tim2 19y agoUnless I'm missing something, yslow just measures download size and latency. I want to measure how well the browser progressively renders the page. For example if I made a layout with tables nested 50 deep, the browser would do worse at progressive rendering and have a higher render time than if I used just css. Likewise, I'm not talking about network latency, eg pingdom, keynote(?). Or compatibility, eg gomez.
- bmatheny 19y agoKeynote DOES measure the time it takes for a page to be rendered using IE, Firefox, Safari and Opera.
- tim2 19y agoI looked over those products and only see download time and latency, not render time. If you could provide a link to where this feature is listed, that'd be very helpful. What I'd really like though would just be some kind of browser performance profiler (not js profiling.)
