How to check why page slow?

[Geoff Cox]

Hello,

I have a page for which downloading into the browser is very slow.

I have tried using YSlow and firebug but is there any way in which I
can actually see which files are taking a long time to be downloaded?

Cheers

Does not the firebug Net tab tell you this? It does for me.

Nifty. Never dug far enough into FB to see that. For each file I get a
graph bar whose length is proportional to the file's d/l time. But that
bar is broken into two parts -- a grey left side and a teal right side.
What does this split indicate?

The OP seems to think that the hole in the wall that his cat5 cable is
plugged into is in direct and close connection to every host out there.
Not so. Over her we *expect* a turnaround time of 300ms for *every*
request we make to most of the rest of the world.

Er, this paragraph more correctly applies to whoever is talking about
latency in another thread/group.

Being abandoned by AOL is a *bad* thing? :)

Then use SeaMonkey. Go to <http://www.seamonkey-project.org/>.

David,

No problem and I'm now aware of Seamonkey!

Is it possible that the page with the two-minute delay has JavaScript
that accesses the Web server for data or for another JavaScript?

The JavaScript is for making things appear/disappear and getting
values for Ajax.Updater so I don't think this falls into your
categories ..

Cheers

I see an excessive delay -- with my browser freezing even for tabs with
pages from unrelated servers -- on some pages from Vanguard Mutual
Funds. I can avoid the freeze and delay by disabling JavaScript.
However, some Vanguard pages then don't work.
