Time your your HTML Ajax and Javascript website
Every Web Developer should have this online tool created by Michael Mahemoff, WebWait. It can save your job when your users told you your site is damn slow! What I really like is this is simple to use, take in consideration Ajax and Javascript.

I know now more about the performances of my websites. One thing now Michael should do in the next release is to include a way to simulate different connections (Dialup, Broadband, etc...)
Quick feature list as it stands right now:
- Basic functionality: Type a URL, see how long it takes to load.
- Option: Set the delay between calls. WebWait will call the website multiple times and provide an average load time.
- Option: Set the number of calls before ceasing activity.
- Ability to pause.
- Partially transparent lightbox eye candy.
- Unique URLs - it’s Ajax, but that shouldn’t stop you from bookmarking and sending URLs with details of the website being tested. Incidentally, implementing this rare but highly useful feature took three lines of Javascript.
