Testing the load time of a URL
The quickest way to do this is with the time and curl commands. Here is the basic syntax I use.
$ time curl "http://www.domain.org" > /dev/null
You don't have to use the quotations, but if you have a query string it may complain without the quotes. Also, you can omit the > /dev/null. That only suppresses the page output since we're only interested in the load time.
