My Home About Me

IE 7 seemed to be faster than Firefox, so I decided to measure page-load times for the two browsers on four popular websites.



My test setup is shown below. None of the three browsers had any extensions installed. Page-load times were measured using IBM Page Detailer on my IBM T43 laptop with a wireless connection to a cable modem, in Victoria BC, Canada.



IBM Page Detailer measures the total page-load time, including all CSS, Javascript, and images. (It can also display a "Gantt chart" of the load times of each of these assets, making it a great for performance analysis).
