Webslug - Measure and compare the websites loading time
Website loading time is alway a concern for both web developers and designers. Webslug is a tool for them to quickly measure and compare different websites loading time.
We want our websites load fast, so that visitors no need to wait for a long time before can read our contents. normally, users will only wait for arround 20 seconds before the contents finish loading, unless your websites contains really interesting articles.
So, it is really important for designers to take care the loading time before publish the design. There are a lot of websites which can measure the loading time, but today i am going to introduce Webslug, which is able to compare the loading time for 2 diferent websites.
To compare the loading time, simply type the web URL to the textboxes provided and press “Compare“. The result shown that Google take2.28 seconds to load while Yahoo take 6.13 seconds. You can also measure the loading time for a single website by following the “just test one oage” link.

It’s no surprise that Google loads faster! It would be pretty interesting to compare the quickness of various similar sites.
This will show bad result if the website is far far away from Webslug.
I would also recommend to use this online free tool - http://Site-Perf.com/
It measure loading speed of page and it’s requisites (images/js/css) like browsers do and shows nice detailed chart - so you can easily spot bottlenecks.
It’s very detailed and accurate, supports a lot of features like Keep-Alive and HTTP-compression.
Also useful feature is that this tool can measure quality of internet link of your server.
