In return Yslow will give you

As the name suggest, Yslow will tell you “Why your website is slow”. Yslow sits in the firebug main menu.
To measure a site’s performance, just install Yslow & click on the performance tab inside Firebug or click on the Yslow icon in the status bar. Yslow also adds JSLint in the tools menu.
