Needless to say, there are dozens of available tools out there ...

But you don't need any tools.

Why? Because, your can use your browser’s developer tools ...

Relax! I'm not talking about coding ...

Here's what you need to do ...

Open your site in Google Chrome, right click anywhere on your page and select "Inspect":

And once again, relax! There is no need for a stroke ...

All you need to do is to select the "Network" tab ...

And you'll get another ugly table that contains a list with every single file (image, CSS, font, Javascript, etc) loaded on the given page.

As you can see, is really not rocket science ... With 3 simple clicks you can find out the actual loading time of any file.
