Optimize your Webpage

By Arvind Satyanarayan on | Filed under Design & Templates | Comments (2)

There are nice tools out there to help you optimize your weblog not only for speed but usability. Here are some

  • Web Page Analyzer - a tool that will check how long it takes your site to load depending on the connection speeds. It will also show you what objects on your site are the biggest and most expensive. It also provides some useful tips on how to better optimize your site.

  • Online CSS Optimizer - a tool that will basically optimize your css by combining a lot of the definitions.

  • W3C Link Checker - a validator from W3C that will check all your links and highlight those that need to be changed/removed etc.

If you use Firefox, install the Web Developer Extension that has all of these built in and more !

All good stuff Arvind, just that I'd still be a bit cautious of flumpcakes Note

Note: This tool reads CSS just like a browser would. So using hacks which are browser specific will give random results, make sure any hacks are removed before use.
