Best practice for profiling web pages

Question

Hello,

I am trying to profile pages in my application. I would like to ask for best practices to follow to do this job either

• at an early stage by the developer using tools as Chrome Developer tool
• at the staging phase by using third party tools and methods

Which are the best way to do this? What are tools available?

Answer 1

A very big topic. The book Performance Analysis for Java WebSites has much applicable wisdom.

One idea I find valuable: start profiling early. Once you've got even a partially stubbed implementation it can be load tested. Do that regularly and you spot the bad behaviours as they are introduced.
