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

Search suggest on Yahoo.com
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
