Online tool to test your website page load speed.
Brief
Google recently opened up their PageSpeed API and a couple of the guys from Distinction wanted to spend a day playing it to see what could be achieved.
We regularly consult on improving the speed of websites, and often resort to the Google Page Speed tool to prove the theory.
Solutions
The site was created in a few hours using HTML 5, Javascript (including JQuery) and the Google PageSpeed API.
The results are automatically ‘tweeted’ and users of the site can easily print their results to refer back to later on.
The ‘Top 10’ slowest and fastest sites are also displayed for any given week.
Results
The tool was used on over 2,000 sites in the first 48 hours after launch, and continues to be used on a daily basis.
