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.
