Hello everyone.

When optimizing your site for loading faster you sometimes want to know how fast your competitors sites are loading, don't you?

Here is a tool I have set up where you can measure loading speeds.

Click faster.1click.at to get there.

It is a client-side script, so your own bandwidth is used to measure speeds.

Have fun with it

---

Original script by Ryan Witt

Hmmm why not just use Firefox and Firebug. It will show you the same and tell you for every object (image, css file, javascript file, etc.) how large the object is and how long it takes to load as well as the overall page.

This tool is more a funny way to compare.
Not everyone knows how to handle Firebug.

Good one but I know some other tools too. And I agree using firebug. Its the best tool if you want to diagnose each and every objects loading time. You can even get the memory analysis too which is a great thing.

No, why should I care?

Visitors to MY website are not using MY connection to view the site
