Is there a way to time how long it takes to render a webpage? Specifically, I want to know the amount of time between the moment when Apache receives a request and the moment when Apache finishes sending the response. Thanks!

Hello bkinnamon,

To be honest, I've never thought of doing something like this; the closest thing I've done and I've seen done elsewhere (to achieve something similar) is to do it with server-side scripts. i.e. time the script starts, then time the script ends, etc.

What have you tried? Maybe if I had an idea where to start, I may just look into it further...

I haven't tried anything. I don't even know where to start. I have seen other websites that have a page generation time at the bottom of every page. I can't remember where I have seen it. I will look for an example and post a link if I find it.

OH those! Like I said, those are done via a server-side script. It's quite simple actually; here's one of MANY examples using PHP: http://www.gidforums.com/t-387.html.

If you need detailed example code, just ask...

I would like to see some detailed example code. Thanks for the help!

Gosh, it has been SO long that I even forgot that I actually wrote something about this a while back; look here: http://www.desilva.biz/php/timer.html
