'Google Page Speed' A internal speed tool

[Big Fish]

To help streamline its sites, Google has been using an internal tool called Page Speed, and starting today it’s opening up.the tool to the developer community.With broadband internet connections so prevalent around the world, it's easy for web designers and developers to get a little bit lazy when it comes to optimizing the pages they create or that their applications generate.Page Speed is a tool you can use internally to improve the performance of web pages. It's a Firefox Add-on integrated with Firebug.

When you run Page Speed, you get immediate suggestions on how you can change your web pages to improve their speed. For example, Page Speed automatically optimizes images for you, giving you a compressed image that you can use immediately on your web site.Part of this speed can be attributed to the company’s obsession with minimalist design and its vast server farms, but you can be sure there’s no shortage of optimization that’s going on to make sure pages load as quickly as possible on the front end.The biggest part of that speed is achieved thanks to code optimization and, to help streamline its sites, the search giant has been using Page Speed, a tool developed internally.

Now the company is releasing the new solution as an open-source project, since Page Speed is a Firefox add-on that also integrates with Firebug, the web development tool.If this sounds familiar, it’s because Yahoo offers a similar tool for Firefox called YSlow, which is also meant to help developers streamline their websites.Page Speed, quite simply, is the ultimate tool for measuring how well optimized your pages are and where there's room for improvement.It offers a wealth of information and a rather nice javascript pre-optimization service that means your original scripts can be re-implimented in their optimized versions.
