    How to check why page slow?

    Hello,

    I have a page for which downloading into the browser is very slow.

    I have tried using YSlow and firebug but is there any way in which I
    can actually see which files are taking a long time to be downloaded?

    Cheers

    Geoff

      Does not the firebug Net tab tell you this? It does for me.

          Nifty. Never dug far enough into FB to see that. For each file I get a
          graph bar whose length is proportional to the file's d/l time. But that
          bar is broken into two parts -- a grey left side and a teal right side.
          What does this split indicate?

              Not so. Over her we *expect* a turnaround time of 300ms for *every*
              request we make to most of the rest of the world.
              Er, this paragraph more correctly applies to whoever is talking about
              latency in another thread/group.

                  Then use SeaMonkey. Go to <http://www.seamonkey-project.org/>.

                      David,

                      No problem and I'm now aware of Seamonkey!

                      The JavaScript is for making things appear/disappear and getting
                      values for Ajax.Updater so I don't think this falls into your
                      categories ..

                      Cheers
