I'm about to start trialling optimisations on my web application (apache & tomcat). My main interest right now is:The total page size (including external js files such as jquery)The number of GETs per pageI'd like to setup a systematic way of measuring the consequences of the various changes I make over time.Are there any tools that are useful for recording a sequence of page hits, playing this back (as I change the config) and record the size of each page ? Ideally I'd like something that can make work with a continuous integration server such as Continuum.Rgds, Kevin.
Track page size of web app for performance

The other answers are useful, but they don't allow me to do the measurements I want to do in a repeatable, automated, systematic way.  After some more researching, this is a multi part problem. I will need to Use the Firebug plugin, and the YSlow plugin. YSlow will send a beacon to me containing statsSetup a server to receive, collect & report on these resultsAutomate Firefox running against my web app from my continuous integration server.
