Page Speed Tool from Google
Recently found an interesting tool from Google “Page Speed” for FireFox, similar to yahoo’s YSlow. Page Speed is installed with firebug extension. The tool is very useful for analyzing the performance of any page.
It gives suggestions in different categories to improve page load time. The suggestion include compression, browser cache, serving from cookie less domain, optimize images etc. The suggestion are much similar to which provided by YSlow, but more detailed analysis of images and css etc makes it different.
Page Speed gives cool stats about the images optimization and actually allows us see and save the optimized version in PNG format. The optimized version seems to be as good as the original version when compared visually but significant reduction in file size is achieved. I recently used images optimized with Google Page Speed tool in CRE loaded based project, and observed significant improvement.
