Chapter 13: Front-end Performance Tools


There are several useful tools freely available for the open source FireFox web browser. This chapter will explore how to use FireBug to take apart and understand the elements that combine to form a web page. It will also explore the Yslow extension, detailing how to use its extremely useful performance reports. (I will research to see if similar tools are available for other browsers, and if so will also cover them in this chapter.)
