O'Reilly's Velocity Conference is quickly approaching -- it's September 15-17 in beautiful New York. As a follow up to last month's post, I wanted to make sure people knew I had 2 more tickets left to give away to this epic front-end performance conference!
If you're hoping to win a free ticket to Velocity NY, please post a comment below citing your favorite client-side performance testing tool. Winner will be selected tomorrow!
MooTools has always gotten a bit of grief for not inherently using and standardizing namespaced-based JavaScript classes like the Dojo Toolkit does. Many developers create their classes as globals which is generally frowned up. I mostly disagree with that stance, but each to their own. In any event...
This is the hardest thing I've ever had to write, much less admit to myself. I've written resignation letters from jobs I've loved, I've ended relationships, I've failed at a host of tasks, and let myself down in my life. All of those feelings were very...
Searching within the page is a major browser functionality, but what if we could code a search box in JavaScript that would do the same thing? I set out to do that using MooTools and ended up with a pretty decent solution. The MooTools JavaScript Class The...

Oops I read that as testing tool. I use jsperf for quick tests and devtools for anything heavier
Profiling in the Google Chrome Console mixed with PageSpeed Insights are really useful for performance testing.
For testing I use the Chrome Dev Tools and a gulp task PageSpeedTest
I live in NYC area and I really want to go to this event… And I would be happy to share a blog post talking about the event…
People. You can’t beat the frustration of a potential user in the testing phase to motivate you to make things faster.
Chrome Dev Tools and New Relic
Chrome’s Dev Tools primarily.
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!
