I see your graph in your reply and was wondering how you generated that report? Thanks Hello Tim,

I’m looking for ways to automate measuring the loading speed of a site.
I see your graph in your reply and was wondering how you generated that report?

Although, you might be surprised at how quickly pages can be served with enough optimization. I can't comment on GWT itself. Here's an example of a page containing a CSS file, some images: <img src="http://timmorrow.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/lps-waterfall-e1276897296875.png" alt="Page performance waterfall graph" /> The full page load is 1.2 seconds; this was measured from a fairly typical DSL connection. All the images are served of a CDN. And I think there are even some optimizations possible here - like reducing the time it takes to emit the first bytes of the HTML to allow the browser to begin downloading the CSS and images sooner.

It states a website should load under 1,5 seconds. Yeah, good luck with that! Even a static HTML without any JS or else will not go much faster than 1,5 seconds.
