I stumbled upon a new tool today that has changed the way I look at on-page optimization. Pingdom released a tool a couple days ago that graphs every file that loads on your page and shows you where your bottlenecks are.

Check it out here: http://www.pingdom.com/tools/fpt/

And since their real service is monitoring uptime, I decided to give them a shot since they're monitoring some of the largest tech sites on the net today. We've been with Alertra for over 2 years but these guys look like they've got a top notch product.

If you've got a mission critical application, I would highly suggest you use a 3rd party monitoring service to alert you to any downtime so you can react immediately.

Here's a before and after of what d.i.c looked like with and without keepalive on in apache (left: before, right: after):

Here's a snapshot of what dream.in.code looks like:


Very very cool, thank you! This will help us greatly. We have had customers in the past looking to lower their load time from their current web hosting facility.

Thanks again.

Let's see some before and after screen shots after you optimize the graphics and such.

My change was mostly server side, but I did optimize the logo and larger images on the site. Knocked off about a second.
