Is there a plugin or method to check HTTP load times?

[locust76]

Hello everyone,

I'm wondering if there is a way to check an HTTP server to measure the time it takes to fully load a web page. I tried looking around on Monitoringexchange.org and found Check_HTTP_Requisites.py, which returns an error about os.popen4 being deprecated and check_website_speed.php which doesn't seem to work at all (php just spits back the source code at me).

Anyone know of a way to do this?

standard check_http ?

HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 1951 bytes in 0.920 second response time

To me it looks much like what you are looking for...

No, I don't think that's really what I'm looking for. I think that only checks out the time it takes to load the base .html file, without plugins or images... I was looking more for something that would get the html file, parse it, download all the content linked in it and then return the time it took to do so... kind of imitating what a user would experience with a web browser...

create your own plugin running something like:

time lynx mywebpage.com
