    Hi Friends,

    According to e Marketer research 16% of people leave the page if it loads longer than 10 seconds and only every second person will wait more than 15 seconds (so you can lose half of your visitors by overlooking your page load time)

    What do you say, are you using below tool or any one better to check your Page size and complete analysis ?

    Check Your Web Page Speed Report

    * total page size
    * total size of the images (and HTML and CSS images separately)
    * JavaScript size
    * CSS size
    * Each page object size
    * And download times for a set of connection rates

    If after checking these tools you would want to figure how to reduce your page size, you might find this post by Marketing Experiments very useful. It goes back to 2005 but remains topical till today.

    Just check out page Wight Tested

    It lists most effective ways to reduce your page weight :-

    # Get rid of all inessential page elements;
    # Clean up your CSS;
    # Get rid of frames;
    # Compress your images;
    # Clean up your HTML, etc.

    Very good Job by Marketing Experiments.

    Please let me know your feedback and accuracy if you are using this types tool for your site or any better tool to check web page speed and complete analysis.

    Hope , it will Help to You.

    Thanks

    Those tools like pretty useful, but they seem a bit aggressive. It recommends keeping load time to under 8 seconds on a 56k modem. I think you could get away with a little more than that, 56k modem users are used to slow load times, up to 15 seconds I'm sure.

    But in general, they offer excellent suggestions. The smaller and faster a page loads, the better.
