Page load time


This simple script shows how to display the time it takes for a page to load . This is a feature which is used on several sites . The basic procedure is simple you just have 2 times one for when the page loads and one for when the page stops loading . You would place the start script at the top of the page and the end script at the bottom of the page.

Here is the first script

<%
Dim starttime
starttime = Timer
%>

this would be placed right at the top of your page . Now for the second part of the script this would be ideally be placed after any other scripts in your page , graphics , main content etc

<%
Dim endtime , timetaken
endtime = Timer
timetaken = FormatNumber(endtime - starttime , 4)
Response.Write "This page took " & timetaken & "seconds to load"
%>

This simply subtracts the 2 times , formats them and displays the result on the page .
