Test How Long Does Your Blog's Or Site's Page(s) Take To Load

If you are an owner of a blog/site then you may want to know the time it takes to download the webpages for a reader/user of your blog/site.If your blog's/site's loading speed is slow then users will leave your blog/site though they are interested in your blog's/site's content. 

Pingdom Tools-Full Page Test(FPT) is a tool for you if you want to test the load time of your webpages.It will download the requested webpage and show how much each item(images, CSS, Script files, Flash, RSS and frames/iframes) takes to load.If the webpage takes too much time to load then you should do something to make it load faster like:

-decreasing the size of images by compressing or using format like JPG or PNG instead of BMP,GIF etc.

-Reducing the number of images in your posts and pages

-Increasing the bandwidth in case there are many visitors to the page resulting in too much load.
