One of the biggest reasons that visitors leave sites, before they even enter is because of slow loading websites and blogs. Many times code issues, cache issues or some other pesky tech problem can cause websites to take forever to load.
Google has created a cool free website tool called Page Speed that works in conjunction with the Firefox add-on Firebug, and it analyzes your websites and blogs and then lists all the problems that can cause slow loading AND gives details on how to fix them.
Learn more about this new free webmaster tool at Google Webmaster Central Blog – Page Speed.
Make sure to get the Firefox Firebug Addon that is needed to run Page Speed, which, by the way, has very user-friendly instructions for install as well as use of the tool.
