Google’s Page Speed Firefox plugin

10 Jul 2009 1 Comment

Google recently released their Page Speed plugin for Firefox, a tool to help improve website load and display times by optimizing images and identifying JavaScript and CSS issues based on best practices known to enhance web page performance.

Page Speed has been in use internally at Google to improve the performance of their own web pages, and has now been made available to the public via Google Code.

    has anybody used this plugin? I know Google makes (sometimes) good tools, but I’d like to know pros&cons of this one. On google site I haven’t found any infos about consequences of installing this plugin. Could it crash my browser? could it slow it down? could make my browser more vulnerable? and so on… (not talking about sending private data to Google…..:) )
