Are you wanting to check on the load time that your users are actually experiencing, or the speeds you are seeing at your end? For the later, Safari 3 (Windows at least) offers the Network timeline, showing how long every part of the page takes to load (images, styles, javascript). There are extensions for Firefox that offer similar as well - YSlow with Firebug for instance. Is that the sort of thing you are after?

What I'm seeing on my end would be sufficient. I know that Firebug, et al can do those things but, ideally, what I'd want would be to have something that I could run 10/20/n times and I could programatticaly store the results in a database. Firebug does what I want but I have to manually copy/paste into an Excel spreadsheet, for example. If there isn't an easy way then I'm fine using something like Firebug to copy/paste; I was just hoping there was/is a more elegant way. I'd like to be able to do reporting against and say, "Bounce rates were 12% higher whenever Google Analytics tracking code load time exceeded 1000ms" or whatever.

| the problem with that example is that the vendor's code is not meant to be placed in the <head>; it is meant to be placed in the <body> |
|
maybe i misunderstood you but fyi you can put script tags in the <body> - i always put the GA js code immediately before the </body> tag.

Thanks to all for ideas. What I eventually did was to just use HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse to time the calls to the scripts. It's not perfect but I can now store in a database.
