GTmetrix - site speed and performance optimization
With all the hoopla over Google's recent announcement that a sites page loading speed will be a ranking factor, we opened up a tool built internally to give people a quick overview of your sites speed.
Using Yahoo's YSlow and Google Page Speed, and inspired by Show Slow, GTmetrix runs your site through both tools and generates a nice report. Useful if you don't have the plugins installed, would like to track changes over time, or personally, I just find it easier to use then the actual plugins. We also just added a nice comparison feature as well.
Love to hear any feedback you might have, or things you'd like to see.

I like it. Great to not have to install the tools to get a report.

It should be "of your sites' speed".

Or "of your site's speed," I guess, since I presume most people will only have one.
