A website tool I saw linked in the comments of another article on hacker news is:

http://gtmetrix.com

It does PageSpeed + YSlow + other stuff. Saves me having to run both tools in my browser and it combines all the output into a nice interface with the ability to send my client a PDF to talk about small tweaks we could make.

Good tool.

I note that it puts a lot of weight on Css minification, which I don't like (I value the readability of HTML/CSS seen through curl) and doubt the value of with reasonably clean, lean source HTML. About half of the grade Fs on my sites come from this. The others need fixing.

In addation it also saves you time. Think of a business where you have soo many clients.Fast website will work miracles when handling all your data.
