Hey David,
My favourite client side performance testing tools are
1- Chrome Dev Tools
2- Gtmetrix
3- Pingdom (to some extent)
4- & sometimes New Relic helps a lot.
Chrome Developer Tools is the best without any doubts
I do not have a favorite tool as I am new to the testing and DevOps world. I would greatly benefit from the tickets by jump starting my learning as I am already passionate about learning these skills. Please help a developer discover the way! I will return the favor!
