Google Rolls Out Page Speed to Help Improve Website Performance

Manoj Jasra - Friday, June 05, 2009 1 Comments



Google has rolled out a new open source product through Webmaster Central called Page Speed. Page Speed is geared towards helping webmasters improve the performance of their web pages.
Page Speed performs several tests on a site's web server configuration and front-end code. These tests are based on a set of best practices known to enhance web page performance. Webmasters who run Page Speed on their pages get a set of scores for each page, as well as helpful suggestions on how to improve its performance.

When you run Page Speed, you get immediate suggestions on how you can change your web pages to improve their speed. For example, Page Speed automatically optimizes images for you, giving you a compressed image that you can use immediately on your web site. It also identifies issues such as JavaScript and CSS loaded by your page that wasn't actually used to display the page, which can help reduce time your users spend waiting for the page to download and display.

    Sound great and I want to use it!

    However, although FF says the add-on is installed and enabled, it doesn't appear in my tools menu.

    Any suggestions?
