Yahoo! has released a new firefox extension which measures site performance based on rules for high performance websites. Requirements to install Yslow are :

• Firefox
• Firebug (Firefox-Adon)

In return Yslow will give you

• Performance report card
• HTTP/HTML summary
• List of components in the page
• Tools including JSLint

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.

Yahoo! home page has got a major feature added some days back. Its the search suggest feature. Unlike other suggests, this ones not obtrusive, so when i know what to search i need not look at the suggestions.
Thers’s an option to disable the search suggest feature. Disabling was a very simple as it showed up in the list, but i didn’t know how to enable it back.
I got it enabled only after reading the official posting on ysearchblog.
Check out the same on www.yahoo.com
