Selenium-profiler is a web/http profiler built with Selenium-RC and Python. It profiles page load time and network traffic for a web page. The profiler uses Selenium-RC to automate site navigation (via browser), proxy traffic, and sniff the proxy for network traffic stats as requests pass through during a page load.
It is useful to answer questions like:
- how many http requests does that page make?
- how fast are the http responses coming back?
- which http status codes are returned?
- how many of each object type are requested?
- what is the total page load time?
