[PHP] optimilize web page loading
Hi, i would like to know if there is a way to know how long does a web page need to be loaded into browser ? this is interesting fact for me, as i will optimilize my PHP code in order to reduce this time to minimum. i was thinking to use some timestamp but as it will be in PHP, it mean that it should take time from server and therefore it is not fully representative from client browser time needed to load page :-( purpose : mywebpage.php - 23 s before optimalization mywebpage.php - 12 s after optimalization do you have any idea ? -- Alain Windows XP SP2 PostgreSQL 8.2.4 / MS SQL server 2005 Apache 2.2.4 PHP 5.2.4 C# 2005-2008

Hi, If you make use of Firefox, you can use the Yslow extension. This will show you the bottlenecks of the page loaded (images, stylesheets, javascripts, total duration, total size etc.). -- Aschwin Wesselius /'What you would like to be done to you, do that to the other'/

Get hold of Steve Souders: High Performance Web Sites: 14 Rules for Faster Pages http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596529307/index.html#details There is a video at http://www.oreillynet.com/fyi/blog/2007/09/steve_souders_high_performance.html Browse the links from which you can see what he is suggesting without getting the book. Some of the things suggested are - minimise number of files (css, js) downloaded by concatenating - add an expires header so pages come from browser cache instead of download - put style sheets at the top of downloaded page and (js) scripts to bottom Someone else mentioned Yslow, which is one of the tools the author suggests.

You can use onload and XmlHttpRequest to send back the desktop client computer date/time and compare that with your start time. Note that you'll need to test on [a] computer[s] where you know the date/time is set correctly, which is not true of the general visitor.

General rule of thumb used to be 2 seconds... If your page hasn't outputted some form of usable information in 2 seconds or less, people don't stick around. What's worse is that some browsers require the whole page contents before they will draw the page, so you get a white page while the page is loading into the browser and the client gets nothing. Firebug/Yslow are both good extensions to load for Firefox to see where the bottlenecks are.
