This free online website speed-testing tool by Pingdom (a server, network and website monitoring service) provides you with several reports such as a breakdown of how long each web page object (e.g. images, style sheets and JavaScript libraries) takes to download and performance grades for things like browser caching.
4. OctaGate SiteTimer
OctaGate SiteTimer is a rather straightforward online tool: you plug in the URL you want to test and, in turn, it will output a bar graph featuring all web page objects containing information such as download start times, end times and duration for each.

6. Web Page Analyzer
This simple web page speed test analyzer — probably one of the oldest tools out there with its first version released in 2003 — gives you data on your web page’s size, assets and load time.
7. Web Tool Hub
Website speed means how fast a website loads. In other words the time it takes to load all the contents of a specific web page. There may be number of reasons depending upon different factors that might slow down the download speed.
8. Linkvendor
The website speedtester shows the duration of a given website. This value can be used for showing how long a website take to load and if it is better to optimize the website or change a (slow) ISP.
9. Aptimize
Since 2003 the average number of page objects i.e. images, scripts, and styles more than doubled from 26 to 65. This means that an average of 65 server roundtrips are needed before a page loads in the browser of a visitor. More roundtrips means slower websites.
10. Show Slow
This is the web-based version of the open source server application by the same name (Show Slow). Show Slow allows you to add a URL to be monitored (publicly) and regularly captures results from three popular testing tools: YSlow, Page Speed and dynaTrace.
