Measure How Fast Your Website Loads From Over 50 Locations Worldwide With Loads.In

In my previous articles for webmaster & bloggers, I've been preaching that speed is a major factor in designing websites. No one would like to wait for a web page that loads forever. 10 seconds or less is the most acceptable time to keep your user's attention. To measure your websites loading speed, you should also consider how fast it loads on other location in the world beside your geographic location and this is where a tool like Loads.In comes handy. Loads.in lets you see how fast your (or any) website loads in a real browser from over 50 locations worldwide. This is critical specially if you have worldwide target audience. With loads.in, simply enter the full URL of the page you want to check and hit the start button to retrieve loading speed at a random location. For each subsequent check you can choose a specific location and the type of browser.
