Testing Page Download Times
A document’s
weight
, that is, the time it takes for the page to download, is a good
metric for testing a site’s design and effectiveness. Public sites and intranets with
remote users must achieve a balance between attractive content and tolerable
page-loading times. ColdFusion Studio can help you find that balance by supplying
values for document download times across a range of modem speeds.
Only image files (
GIF
,
JPG
,
PNG
) are tested and included in the Dependencies list
The following graphic shows a sample Document Weight list:
To test the current document’s download time:
1
Select
Tools > Document Weight
.
The file’s dependencies, such as image and media files, are listed along with file
size and download times for a range of modem speeds. Tags in comments are not
calculated.
2
If the page’s download time exceeds the site’s requirements, edit the page to
decrease the number or size of dependencies, and re-test.
ColdFusion Studio uses the Root
URL
setting in your
FTP
configuration to determine
the relative
path
to files.
