Instead of simply ‘wget’ you should use ‘wget -p’

This option causes Wget to download all the files that are necessary to properly display a given HTML page. This includes such things as inlined images, sounds, and referenced stylesheets.

Useful article, I use webpage test all the time.
We use the website accelerator WAX (by aptimize) to automate our frontend optimization – it not only increased the speed of our website by 58% but fixed a caching issue we had on our catelog pages – we had been doing optimization “by hand” for a long while but man does this save us a lot of time – its not free though.

Very useful article to measure the page performance. I used the Page Speed and found it very useful. But the tool Google Pagetest (IE specific tool) is not IE8 compatible.
We can also keep the images, CSS and javascript in the IIS cache so as to enhance the speed up the page performance.

The best way to optimize the http requests are:
1.Use CSS sprites instead of separate images
2.Use formatted CSS and java-script instead of lengthy file have use-less gaps.
3.Use less no of CSS and JS (as per required)
for example on wordpress their are various useless scripts and css called due to several plugins. You can avoid all this by removing the from header.
4.Avoid use of iframes
5.Avoid flash files on the home / landing pages.

Cool. For the analysis I do for clients I usually use Pingdom. It’s not an add-on, but I can at least refer them to the page for self analysis.
