If you’re a blog owner, or just curious by nature, you may be curious about how the loading time of one website stacks up against another.  You can see two sites square off at whichloadsfaster.  Whichloadsfaster couldn’t be easier – input one site in the box at the top left of the screen, and another site in the box at the top right, hit the “Go” button, and sit back to watch the results.

The service has some other features as well, such as a repeat feature, which lets you specify how many times you want the faceoff to be run.  This can give you a better idea as to which site truly is faster, since load speeds on any given visit can vary due to traffic and other factors.  There is also a “race” feature, that allows you to list up to three sites in one column, three in another column, and have the two groups square off against each other.  It sounds silly . . . but don’t knock it until you try it, I guess.  That can be said for whichloadsfaster in general – it may sound whimsical, but it is oddly addicting.

What tools do you use to measure the speed of your site?  Coming soon, we’ll take a look at a tool we use here at 40Tech to help improve site speed.
