The Boring Technical Details
IsMyBlogWorking.com has a new feature: it now displays boring technical details about the connection speed, transfer size, compression efficiency, and so on.
The boring disclaimer: those figures represent one way of measuring one connection at one point in time from one corner of the internet, so they shouldn’t be taken as absolute. But they might be useful as a second opinion when optimizing or debugging your blog. For a more complete test that takes CSS, javascript and image load times into account, I’d recommend using Firebug or Safari’s Network Timeline feature.
Donncha is using it to check the efficiency of his WP Super Cache plugin, which is impressively fast.
