Page Speed – Google’s way to find out bottleneck for performance.

Page Speed is another useful utility which can be used to find out bottle neck for performance. Page speed has some of the rules for better performance. User has to open application using the Page Speed link (https://developers.google.com/pagespeed/) and Page Speed gives valuable suggestions to find out bottleneck and optimize the page for the desire performance.

Following two different ways, once can take advantage of Google Page Speed’s analysis.

1. Page Speed Online – Which has interface and allow user to write URL and give the suggestions. No Download requires for this. More details Page Speed Online

So once you analyze your allocation, Google Page Speed gives the problem with suggestion, Full fill all the suggestions and again analyze using Page Speed and confirm that whatever changes you have done due that previous “High Priority” rules converts into “already done” or not.

Irrespective of what suggestions you will get, you should consider all the suggestion which Page Speed has mention. You can get more inside from http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/rules_intro.html

One example is how to Minimize payload size. Google Page Speed has given following suggestion.
