Google Released Page Speed for Firefox
Google just released a Firefox/Firebug add-on called Page Speed. It is basically a tool that will help you improve the loading performance of your website. After you run it, you will see a list with all the factors that would make your site load faster, with an image illustrating whether or not your website checks for each.
There are some similar plugins available for Firefox, but this one seems to be more robust. It checks for a wide range of optimization steps, including proxy caching, DNS lookups, CSS combination, Javascript loading and parallel downloads. Worth a try.

This looks like a great addition to Firebug! I’ll definitely be using it, I know there are plenty of things slowing my blog down so it’ll be interesting to see what I can do!
google should put more attention in chorme.
WOW! Wait, why am I saying that? It seems lie Google releases everything for IE and Firefox. I use Opera and 90% of Google services do not work well! Those which do, use previous versions!
Anyway, good tool from Google!
Wow, an awful copy of Yslow. Google, please, don’t let us down next time.
Looks like a great add-on, will have to give it a go!
Great add on from the read. Going to try it out. So wonder what will Google come up next. It is strange that they developed one for Mozilla as they already have launched their own browser, chrome.
I have been using YSlow till now. Will try this one out
Installed it just now.
Looks like a gr8 add on.
This is a very useful tool, thank you! i like many bloggers have many badges and add ons which can really slow my website down. Now is there an add on to make Firefox load faster? haha
wow. it seems like ver useful tool to improve the performance of my blog. thanks for sharing Daniel
Very nice. Now I just need to do what it says.
Page Speed is really impressive. It’s almost similar to YSlow, but provides much more detailed analysis on web pages.
It does sound like a good tool. But I have never been able to get into Firefox. I have worked on the internet for amost 9 years now and I have always used IE. But now i hate the new IE. So I am trying to force myself into using Firefox. I guess old habits die hard.

pretty useful! going to try out now!
Looks like a great add-on. Now everything on the web identically with google
wow!
it’s time to analyze all my sites! thanks a lot! =D
thanks a lot for sharing this! I’ve been using Firebug and web analyzer for ages now, but this tool was very fast and gave plain-english analysis and advice what should be optimized. I think every blogger and webmaster should at least try this tool if they have not done any performance analysis before. great stuff!
Let me try it out now.. seems like a kewl one.
Thank bro.
For ages, Im using firefox. Great post in here. Will try that tool now.
Nice tip. sure it will work with my pc
I used it, very useful stuff
From the first look it really looks good. so i will try it now.
Thank God now i could have some speedy surfing, i was dying when i load 20 tabs and my browser gets hanged
Thanks one of the most helpful things I’ve read in a long time.
good work
None for Chrome? or is it already built it in chrome. hmmmm
Great add on from the read. Going to try it out. So wonder what will Google come up next. It is strange that they developed one for Mozilla as they already have launched their own browser, chrome.

Does it also test the server speed?
ah, i’ll just install it and see for my self…
nice but very time i tried to use this application my firefox crash, any idea why?
I use this plugin but my firefox crash or workly hard in anytime! What is problem?
I have tried the Page Speed functionality in FireBug and it has helped me quite a lot in optimizing my site’s page loading speed. I have done everything that I could to optimize my site, except for the things that should be done by the hosting company like DNS lookups or gzip compression.
