Speed optimization is important for any site. Site may be big portal for e-commerce or targeting to small group of restricted users.
As per my reading some blog about the ranking factor for Google, now site speed is one of the major attribute. Now developers has to go extra importance to loading speed of web application.
There are some aspects that must be handled seriously for increasing the website loading speed:
· Cookie Sizes
· Redirects
· Dom Access
· Use and Size of Images
There are many tools available to check the performance of site. This tools give the recommendation to improve further to optimize performance. I’m going explain about more than 20 tools so divide this post into 4 part.
This is Part 1 and going to cover,
1. GTmetrix (http://gtmetrix.com/)
2. Load Impact (http://loadimpact.com/)
3. Web Wait (http://webwait.com/)
4. Gomez (http://www.gomeznetworks.com/custom/instant_test.html)
5. Site Perf (http://site-perf.com/)
GTmetrix (http://gtmetrix.com/)
GTmetrix (http://gtmetrix.com/) is online service which actually combination of two tools, YSlow and Page Speed. Page Speed is Google’s tool while YSlow is Firefox’s add-on.
Both tools are famous to check the loading speed of a web page. Both have different rules to analyze the bottle neck for performance. It’s quite difficult for the developer to choose among this two (YSlow and Page speed), GTmetrix has solved confusion about selection of YSlow and Page speed.

Web Wait (http://webwait.com/)
Another good web site to check the connection speed. It also provides the toolbar to make the testing process easy.
Gomez (http://www.gomeznetworks.com/custom/instant_test.html)
Gomez checks for the real time performance test from an external node location. In report it shows the DNS lookup time, connection time, first byte, content download and Redirect Time
Site Perf (http://site-perf.com/)
It’s another important site to check the site performance. It allows to set “Max thread per host” to check the capacity of application. Read the limitation of Site Perf for better result.
