[19] Need to Monitor Clarity Page loads (Performance) ?

There is often a need to know how long it takes to load the page. At least my testing team needs it... to benchmark the performance time to time. So far windows time or wrist watch or Cell phone's stopwatch came to rescue..

I have been using a Firefox Add-on to give me the page load times. It's "Extended Statusbar" that I use to know page load times. You can download (in Firefox) or search for "Extended Statusbar" in Firefox > Tools Add-ons > Get Add-ons > Search box.

Only thing this Add-on will not show accurate time for the portlets which uses AJAX based "Progress-bars" while loading the data.
