Thanks for the article!

My personal preference is:

1. Google PageSpeed
2. GTmetrix
3. Pingdom

I then use all three to gather info to improve the speed of my clients website and do this by using a combination of W3 Total Cache. SmushIT and CloudFlare CDN.

Usually I manage to obtain A grade or 90%+ scores!

Actually I was looking for the tools through which I can test the pace of my personal website. Thanks for mentioning these useful tools.

Hey Brian & co:)

Good lil’ list. My personal favorite is Pingdom’s Full Page Test – it makes it so easy to see which resources/elements I should prioritize optimizing first (JS, CSS, images) and whether it’s number of requests or size that’s the bottleneck.

I seem to remember WP Engine has done their own page optimization tool. If correct, I may blog about it soon, when time:)
