YSlow analyzes web pages and grades their performance against Yahoo's rules for high performance web pages. It ships as browser extensions, a bookmarklet, and a Node.js/PhantomJS command-line tool that analyzes HAR files.

Use cases

  • analyze web page performance against best-practice rules
  • audit page load speed from HAR files on the command line
  • find why my website loads slowly
  • grade web pages for performance optimizations
  • run headless web performance analysis in CI
  • measure front-end performance of a web page

When to choose

  • you want classic Yahoo performance-rule grading of web pages
  • you need a CLI to analyze HAR files for performance issues
  • you want a browser extension or bookmarklet for on-page performance audits

When to avoid

  • you need modern Core Web Vitals metrics like LCP or CLS
  • you want actively developed tooling - the project is largely in maintenance mode
  • you need full Lighthouse-style audits including accessibility and SEO
