Is your site fast : StopWatch it!

Would you like to know how long it takes to load a webpage?

This program will measure the time for you. Enter the URL to be measured and watch the top of the window.

The StopWatch can only measure websites that can be displayed in a frame. Some websites use javascript to break out of frames. This is not a StopWatch bug.


How does it work?

The stopwatch is a small Javascript that runs on your computer (not the Numion server).

It measures the time between the moment your browser starts to load the URL and when the browser signals that it has finished ("Done" in the status bar).

The measurement therefore includes fetching and interpreting all HTML (including frames), images, and Javascripts. It does not include content that is handled by plugins.

If the page is in the cache then the stopwatch will measure the faster loading time (see tip below).

The accuracy is the accuracy of the Javascript timer, on most systems 10 milliseconds.

Tip: to reload a page and bypass the cache of your browser:
Internet Explorer:	Hold Control key and click Refresh on toolbar.
Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape Navigator:	Hold down Shift and click Reload button on navigation toolbar.
Safari:	Hold down Shift and click Reload button.
