Re: Calculating Page Load Time

As I understand it you seem to be doing some tests by yourself, not on 
your userbase, so how about using an extension? There's an interresting 
Mozilla/Firefox extension named 'LORI' that does what you seem to be 
searching for. It measures the time from request to first response and 
the times from first request to full page load/display, as well as 
showing the page-size, though I didn't check if it just shows the bytes 
for the html or rather for all the images as well...

Just one thing - what do you mean by "all content is download and initialized"? Download is fine but could you please elaborate on initialized?

My task is to cut on the page size (and increase download speed - at least speed the usable page download time). For doing tests I need to know how much time the original page took and then once I start cutting down on the code, I need to check with the earlier time. So, I was trying to come up with something that would give me an idea of how good / bad job I have done :)
