There are many ways to time the speed of your website, using php, asp, asp.net or simple javascript. They all have the disadvantage that you need to include your scripts on every page you want to time, and once your site is published live on the webserver, you don’t want every visitor to see these timing results.
Here’s a simple and elegant solution, and it’s free! The Numion Stopwatch website has a simple textbox to enter the url you want to time.
Note: once your site or page is loaded and timed, you can push the result button to test again. A separate button would be much clearer.
