Web Developers Should Use “YSlow” for Firebug
My friend Matt informed me about an extension to firebug called YSlow that was developed by Yahoo. Before you can install YSlow, you must install Firebug if you don’t have it already.
It is a great tool that helps developers to analyze their site statistics on performance/speed. YSlow will give you a “Report Card” including a final grade and individual grades on each test. It checks JavaScript, CSS, HTTP requests, etc… and will give you their recommendations on how to adjust your grade.
For more information on YSlow, check out the docs section.
