Is there a YSlow-like tool for IE7?

Question

I love YSlow for Firebug/Firefox, but I've hit a situation where I want to profile an HTTPS site, that doesn't physically work outside of IE6/7 (e.g. no IE8, no Firefox, no Chrome)

Fixing the site to work in all browsers is officially Step #1, but to do some analysis and benchmark the existing site (which will help in reporting overall goal achievement) I really need to be able to profile the existing site.

In particular the info I'm looking for is:

1. Overall page speed
2. Static content (what images, css, js files) are cached, minimized, gzipped
3. Counts/locations of slow CSS (e.g. usage of CSS Expressions)
4. Cookie info
5. Image sizes
6. Duplicate scripts/css
7. File sizes etc.

Without a specific do-all tool, are there specific tools that will help me solve part(s) of the puzzle.

e.g.

• I have Fiddler2 set up... which will give me HTTP(S) sessions, headers, requests, filesizes, gzipping, etc.
• I have a bookmarklet or two that will tally up duplicate scripts/css
• I have the IE7 developer tools installed so that I can view the HTML and inspect things

Using the above I can extract most of the info and then tally up my own "score"/checklist of things that need attention however it is a fair amount of work. :-(

Does anyone have some better tools for this? Is there a YSlow-like tool for IE7??

Answer 1

You Can Run Yslow In Internet Explorer

All You Need To Do Is:

1. Click Here (Using IE)
2. Scroll Down To 'Desktop Bookmarklet Installation Instructions'
3. Right Click The Blue Rectangle Reading 'YSlow' & Then Add To Favourites

Now You Have YSlow In Your Favourites, Go To The Webpage You Want To Test &

Click YSlow From Your Favourites Menu To Run The Test.

UPDATE: The YSLOW Bookmarklet has not been updated by the YSLOW team and as of June 2016 does not work in IE11

Answer 2

I just came accross MSFAST, a new addon from MySpace Performance team http://msfast.myspace.com/

It does performance analysis and there is a YSLOW quotation system.
