This will let me see exactly how long each file takes to load to the millisecond, the order they load, and where exactly the page hangs. It is great for troubleshooting slow pages, or just optimizing pages. And boo on changing the header, but I do like grungy looking websites.

See what's loading, and if it's something you don't need then trash it! I tried this with my site, and I had a ton of trackers on my site like "Blogtoplist" and "BlogRankings" that were slowing my site down. Got rid of them and now I'm a heck of lot faster. O and sorry that you liked my header on my site...I switched themes. =) PS. nice hover effect on your content.

Thanks for the great plug-in! The extra files I was talking about were actually extra css and javascript files that I didn't really need loading, but they have been compressed now, so they aren't an issue.

A majority of your visitors will see a static html file where no PHP Is loaded at all! As you have Super Cache enabled you don’t need to worry so much about a few plugins loading extra files.
