How to check the page load time of current website

December 21, 2012 08:20 PST

Page load time is an very important part of web user experience, it's also becoming a more important factor when it comes to search engine rankings. There are some interesting facts and stats:

47% of consumers expect a web page to load in 2 seconds or less;
40% of people abandon a website that takes more than 3 seconds to load;
A 1 second delay in page response can result in a 7% reduction in conversions.

If your site is too slow, perhaps you need to optimize the web site or migrate to a faster server. There are many tools for checking how long it takes to load your website. Today I integrated this feature to PageRank Status 6.30 (A SEO toolbar for Chrome), it shows the page load time of current web page and rates it, and also provides the timing-related information, there is a screenshot:

Update: PageRank Status 6.5 added a new feature to show the page load time graphically. The new screenshot:

Screenshot: Show the page load time graphically. Click for large preview.

To analyze your current page speed, please follow the steps below:

Go to PageRank Stauts on Chrome Web Store, then click ADD TO CHROME button to install it.
If you have installed PageRank Status on your Chrome, please Update it to version 6.3.
Browser a web page on Chrome browser, and then click the PageRank Status button in the Chrome toolbar.
Click Page Speed tab page, it will display the page load timing information of current web page.

Tips: You can set the Page Speed page as the first page in Options window.

Useful tool, thanks!
One question: This tool measures site load time for particular user running the tool, or uses some server to measure the speed?

It measures site load time for the current web page in current session.

Ever since this update, I'm getting a lot of console.log() spam from PageRank Status. For example, I see this in my console.log:

Please remove these console.logs as they're forcing me to disable this plugin when I am developing.
