How fast is your Directory?

There maybe other tools you can use to check how fast your Directory is loading
but I'm going to use Alexa speed metrics as an example.



Tell us about your directory

I have no data on Alexa Speed Test, But with firebug - %85 For Rimpe.Net
I need fix the "Parallelize downloads across hostnames"

 

AFAIK, http://tools.pingdom.com/ is a good tools for check your site speed, and show you which part of your page is slow! BTW here is Directory.ac report:

Any test is as good as the server that runs this test.
If benchmark site have lousy connection speed or overloaded or have limited amount of memory server,
then results will be way off the real test site performance.

See for yourself and you'll understand what I mean:

55% of sites Pingdom tests are faster than Pingdom
Now you tell me how accurate you think Pingdom is and how much you can trust it testing credibility?

4.2 sec for searchbuster, pretty crap really since it's on a dedi, but working on speeding it up.

 

the pingdom tool is good, here is my result

 

Here is a speed test for Site Sift Web Directory which is hosted by McKremie.

I said it's a good tools, not an accurate tools for web sites speed benchmark!

I would mention that Directory.ac has total objects: 119 (624.6 KB) which is some how too much for a site home page, I must consider about it.

I believe this thread would be much more useful if people perhaps posted their stats and then a value that represents their final KB/TIME ratio of their Directory if possible?

SO, KB/TIME ratio for Directory.ac web Directory = 624.6/6.4 = 97.6

Directory.ac Speed Score: 97.6
