Visual round trip Analyzer

Jim Pierson wrote an article in The msdn magazine.Article12 steps to accelerate web page loading using Visual round trip analyzer. Visual round trip analyzer is short for vrta and has just released the latest version. You can download it from here. For Web developers, use vrta to identify the root cause of performance problems from many factors and display them as graphs.

There are many factors that may affect the performance of web pages-the distance between the server and the client, the number of elements on the page, the way the browser loads these elements and the available bandwidth. It is not easy to identify these bottlenecks and point out the cause. However, if the cause is identified, great improvements will be made. This article introduces the vrta tool through 12 steps. This tool has been used internally by Microsoft for a long time. It is easy to use and is no exception. Vrta not only shows the loading time, but also the network round-trip bytes. It can visualize the port distribution, TCP connection overhead, bandwidth usage, and payload compression on a graph, this is a good tool for finding performance problems.
