Website Performance Analysis Sites

Website Image Analysis Tool webspeedtest.cloudinary.com

This site analyzes all the images on a website and determines how they affect loading speed. It also specifies what can be done to make the site load faster, specifically how to change the weight (file size) of each image so it maintains the same quality, but at a smaller weight. You can even download newly-formatted images and easily replace them on the website.

Website Speed Performance Tester gtmetrix.com

This online test analyzes and reports the speed of any website, and gives it an overall rating (A, B, C, D, or F). It also lists where the site had the most problems, such as the weight of images being very high and slowing down the load time, or too many redirects.
