This section provides descriptions and links to tools/services for analyzing website performance in terms of speed/load time.

There are several tools online to analyze/test site performance.  Google Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer have development tools to mimic load times over different network speeds.

Two common sites used to rate a page on a website's performance are:

• GT Metrix:  https://gtmetrix.com/
• 
• Pingdom Tools:  https://tools.pingdom.com/
  

Both GTmetrix & Pingdom Tools provide guidance/information as to what steps to take to address each warning/flag in the performance report in their web interface.  GTmetirx's results can be downloaded in the form of a PDF to share with others.

In addition to the above, Google offers PageSpeed Insights: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/
