Ever wonder what you can do to make your site load a little faster, or do you want to know what your talking about when some one asks how to make a site faster?
Well wonder no more. The good people at Yahoo have created a solution.
YSlow is a plugin from Yahoo for firebug (a tool no developer should be without). YSlow analyzes web pages and tells you why they're slow based on the rules for high performance web sites.

- Performance report card
- HTTP/HTML summary
- List of components in the page
- Tools including JSLint
So go get a copy and make the web a better place!
