I am trying to make a home-built page loading tester.

I grab the milliseconds at the very top of the page:
<? $startTime = microtime(); ?>

And check it in the footer...
<? $endTime = microtime(); ?>

then subtract it all & x .001 to get seconds...
<? echo "Loading time: " . (($endTime - $startTime) * 0.001) . " seconds"; ?>

The numbers I get are always soo low, even after dumping my cache, does this not take into account my images etc?

No, it won't take images into account - all it does is time how long the script itself runs for. The script can output an <img> tag in a fraction of a second, the browser receives this and then submits an entirely separate http request for the image.

haha...man, that sucks... any way you know of that this is possible?

thanks!

I removed the time... but I'm still open for ideas.

Not sure if I'm right here as it's not something I have played with, but I have a feeling the JavaScript onLoad event handler positioned within the <body> tag triggers an event when the entire page has loaded, though whether or not this includes the images I don't know. All I can suggest is having a play with it.
