Is there a YSlow-like tool for IE7?


I love YSlow for Firebug/Firefox, but I've hit a situation where I want to profile an HTTPS site, that doesn't physically work outside of IE6/7 (e.g. no IE8, no Firefox, no Chrome)

Fixing the site to work in all browsers is officially Step #1, but to do some analysis and benchmark the existing site (which will help in reporting overall goal achievement) I really need to be able to profile the existing site.

In particular the info I'm looking for is:

  1. Overall page speed
  2. Static content (what images, css, js files) are cached, minimized, gzipped
  3. Counts/locations of slow CSS (e.g. usage of CSS Expressions)
  4. Cookie info
  5. Image sizes
  6. Duplicate scripts/css
  7. File sizes etc.

Without a specific do-all tool, are there specific tools that will help me solve part(s) of the puzzle.

e.g.

Using the above I can extract most of the info and then tally up my own "score"/checklist of things that need attention however it is a fair amount of work. :-(

Does anyone have some better tools for this? Is there a YSlow-like tool for IE7??


Solution

  • I just came accross MSFAST, a new addon from MySpace Performance team http://msfast.myspace.com/

    It does performance analysis and there is a YSLOW quotation system.
