Ask HN: Page load performance monitoring tools

9 points by bryanalves 15y ago

So I'm looking to put together a suite of tools put together some metrics of page load performance for my company's sites. I already know about: * www.webpagetest.org * www.yottaa.com * Google analytics has some meaningful stuff * Internal tools for back-end performance (number/time of database hits, etc) What other tools should I be looking at to gather a comprehensive set of metrics?

I can't speak to it's effectiveness, but I have this site bookmarked to use soon on one of my projects: https://www.blamestella.com/ https://www.blamestella.com/

I was at a web speed optimization meetup and we used this tool: http://www.webpagetest.org/ http://www.webpagetest.org/ It was pretty neat and VERY useful.

  yeah we use this too, can't believe the amount of stuff they let you do for free. You can even generate video showing your site verses your competitors loading at 0.5 fps.

We use NewRelic to see everything from the bottom up: http://newrelic.com/ http://newrelic.com/ It's really easy to use, comprehensive and they have a 14day trial. I also like yslow: http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/ http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/ It's good for quick checks.

I've been working on a tool for doing simultaneous page-load measurements and back-end profiling. Here's a paper my supervisor and I published on it: http://portal.acm.org.cyber.usask.ca/citation.cfm?id=1958746.1958783&coll=DL&dl=ACM&CFID=36607375&CFTOKEN=97842304 http://portal.acm.org.cyber.usask.ca/citation.cfm?id=1958746... Depending on your environment, we could talk about getting you a copy to try out. It's ... a little rough around the edges, but I've found it quite useful.
