WebPageAnalyzer.com

This is a handy free tool which will tell you how compact  (and therefore, how fast) pages on your Web site will load over various connections: WebPageAnalyzer.com

To use it on your home page, just type the full address of your Web site (e.g. http://www.InmanFamilyWines.com) in to the box labeled Enter URL to diagnose (sounds appetizing, doesn't it?) and click the Submit Query button.

What's instructive is that you will see how many different "objects" comprise your home page (HTML files, CSS files, Javascript files, images, etc.) - and all of these must be loaded one at a time for a browser to fully render your page.  You may be suprised!

Note that you can input the address (URL) of any page on your Web site (for example, the most-frequent entry page and the most popular page in addition to your home page).

Very cool! Thanks for the link, Mike. I particularly like the color-coded analysis and suggestions provided. I see I need to do some more tweaking on my home page.
