I'm looking for a Firefox addon which will track how much bandwidth a page is using. This could be a regular HTML page or GMail with the chat feature using Javascript. Is there anything that will help me optimize my page like this?

Perhaps YSlow is what you're looking for?

Not exactly what I wanted as it can't really handle AJAX requests but I guess maybe there aren't any other options.

FireBug has function that allows you to see how much bandwidth and how long certain scripts, pages, images, etc take to load

The suggested solution, YSlow, is a plugin for FireBug.

I was referring to the FireBug Net Panel, which is NOT YSlow

This is actually very cool.

Why not use your hosting providers modules? Hosting providers like fasthost and Bluehost allow this functionality for free.
