Test the performance of your mobile landing pages

I've been using http://gtmetrix.com/ to test the performance of my webpages and get suggestions what could be improved. They have recently added a new feauture to test the performance on mobile devices too which is quite cool. You'll need to register a free account to use it.

from their FAQ:

19. How can I test my mobile performance?

GTmetrix offers page analysis through an actual Android device (Galaxy Nexus). On your Dashboard, click "Advanced Options" and select "Chrome (Android, Galaxy Nexus)" in the Test Format setting. If you wish to re-test from a Report page, click on "Page Settings" and change your Test Format settings there. Re-test!

20. How is the mobile analysis performed?

GTmetrix sends a request directly to our suite of mobile devices and requests your URL via a WiFi connection. We use Chrome to load the page and send the data back to GTmetrix for report generations. The ruleset used is slightly changed - we use Google's Page Speed rules with prioritization for mobile devices. This results in a very accurate representation of your mobile page load performance.

Right now they only support Android via WIFI traffic but i think they'll add more devices soon.

What do you think? Any better alternatives out there?

PS: If you want to easily preview your landers on different devices i highly reccommend Mobilizer http://www.springbox.com/about/tools .

Thanks for sharing , looks really useful.

I have just used Pingdom in the past but this looks better.

Nice!

There are a few of these tools starting to surface now - although I'm still waiting for one that will test loading times through actual carriers rather than just WiFi. Still, any decent analysis on mobile devices is very useful.

Looks like I should do a roundup and review of the best mobile testing tools!
