It's not as simple as it may seem on the first look: multiple locations around the world (and even within US) must be tested.

Uptrends is on point but Alertra seems to be shit cause I just checked a retarded slow site and it says it's "OK".

WebPageTest loads all background images found in your CSS file. For example we have CSS background images with French wording where the CSS rule is only invoked on French pages. WPT loads these background images on any page tested - not sure if that's 100% how browsers behave.

However it's still one of the better tools for this type of test. Started using it a few weeks ago and it told us our server didn't have Keep-Alive on. I turned that on and it shaved nearly 5 seconds off everything and now everything is under 4s with under 2s reloads.
