  • Pingdom (http://www.pingdom.com/) is another just brilliant service for testing and monitoring your website.

    For a quick test of loadtime, go to http://tools.pingdom.com ad your URL at the top and see, not only total loadtime, but also each part;

    "The Full Page Test loads a complete HTML page including all objects (images, CSS, JavaScripts, RSS, Flash and frames/iframes). It mimics the way a page is loaded in a web browser."
