If you don't already use them: Firebug: http://www.getfirebug.com/ will show you how long each component of the page takes from request to response and shows you what components are returned in parallel (among other really cool features). This can help identify your bottleneck. For example, if your images are taking longer than expected while the page itself returns quickly then you may want to serve images with a dedicated web server, like lighttpd.
Yahoo's 'yslow' tool gives your page a 'grade' and offers advice on how to improve your grade. It also has other handy bits (JSLint, Empty vs. Primed cache comparisons). http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/ The grades are based on their 'Rules for High Performance Websites': http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/index.html#rules Hm, funny, their yslow page scores a 'D' :) Joseph Heck wrote: > Add on to Rajesh's list - > > what pages are you requesting and have you profiled them to understand > what's taking long? > > -joe > > On Dec 11, 2007 10:08 AM, Rajesh Dhawan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hi Richard, >> >>> When I stress test the dynamic part of the site, I am only getting about >>> 300 requests per second on my test setup.
