I feel better now -- my site's not the slowest. CNN -- 200 requests, 516KB, 13.39 seconds.
Firebug is very sobering. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cliff Hirsch Sent: Friday, January 12, 2007 12:17 PM To: 'NYPHP Talk' Subject: RE: [nyphp-talk] So why is Ajax so fast? Fascinating!!! This is about the coolest thing I've tried in a while. Never noticed the net tab before. I just tried a few sites -- amazing results. My own site that I'm developing varies from 300ms for a cached page (why are those cached css and js files still taking so long) to more than 2 seconds when it has to load all those stupid images that we never realize we've accumulated. Cliff -----Original Message----- From: Chris Snyder I cannot recommend the Firebug extension for FireFox enough. It has a "Net" tab that will show you, in detail, how long each subrequest takes. You think that the browser is caching js and css and all those images. But unless you have agressive caching turned on, it still makes an HTTP HEAD request to the server, and waits for the response, to find out if the cached resource has changed. _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
