Google has gathered a bunch of tools to help you find and fix problems that negatively impact a site’s performance. It may seem odd on the face of it that the search juggernaut is spending any time on helping people improve their site load time but in case you’re not aware, this may have something to do with it: Google has said that it actively takes into account how fast a given page loads as a factor in its overall ranking algorithm.
I suppose it makes sense when you consider that the “best result” for a given query would preclude pointing osers to a page that either had problems loading or took a very long time. As far as this list goes, maybe everybody has Firebug, but I did find Google’s own Page Speed tool interesting.
