WebPerfDays: Performance Tools I just returned from Velocity Europe in London. It was stellar. And totally exhausting! But this post is about the other fantastic web performance event that took place after Velocity: WebPerfDays London. WebPerfDays is like a day-long web performance meetup event. Stephen Thair continued the tradition by organizing last week’s WebPerfDays in London. What’s your favorite web performance tool? Here are the responses gathered from the attendees: Favorite Performance Tool: Updates: Missing Tools: When analyzing a website need a tool that calculates the average delta between last-modified date and today and compare that to the expiration time. in-browser devtools letting you drill into each resource fetched or cached, listing the full set of reasons (down to the combination of http headers at play in the current and, as applicable, a prior request) for why that resource was or wasn’t loaded from the cache, when it would get evicted from cache and why:
