Ted Patrick turned me on to YSlow, a Yahoo! Firefox add-on that integrates with Firebug to analyze web page loads and make performance recommendations. I've been using it for a few days now, and this one is very cool, check it out!

YSlow was also mentioned on the High Scalbility Blog (and mine) about a month ago, and there is a great video presentation about it here (if my link gets through)...

YSlow was a huge find for us. We implemented GZip from it's recommendation and saw a dramatic change in the file size and bandwidth usage.

I used it and now find that I cannot for the life of me get .cfm files to compress using the mod_deflate module in Apache 2. Everything else compresses so why can't my cfm files? I couldn't find any answers on google, only others who asked the same thing. One person said that it was a bug in mod_jrun but he was using CF 7.

yslow has been a life saver for us as well. i have used it successfully for a variety of deployments and highly recommend it alongside Firebug for Mozilla Firefox. Great add-on to FF.

Works well even for debugging the slow cfajax calls.
