Measuring Web Page Load Times with WebKit Inspector
While investigating ways to make this page load faster, I made a screencast show how you can use WebKit Inspector to measure the load times of your page. Click the image below to watch it.
As Webkit Inspector suggested, I discovered that you can make Apache compress the html, xml, and css files before returning them by adding this line to your httpd.conf:
#Compress a few types AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css
Your CSS file especially should compress down to be at least five times smaller than it was uncompressed.
