Steve,
Thanks a lot – this is an amazing tool to do comparison across the board.
I saw that you were planning to fix the Export function. Any luck there? I know that it’s not critical but when you try to process very large amount of testing data, it would be incredibly helpful.
Thx for the tool!
Florent

@Justin: I’ll be creating an open source project for Hammerhead soon. Please post this as an enhancement when the project is up and running. I’d be happy to work with you to implement it, too, if you want.

Is there a way to store a list of urls? So I don’t have to add one by one every time I run the test.

Thanks

I fixed the incompatibilities with Firefox 3.5. You should receive an update notification next time you restart Firefox (after 24 hours) or can download Hammerhead 0.5 now from here: http://stevesouders.com/hammerhead/ Thanks for your patience!

Okay, thanks for the information. Could you add a comment or something on this blog post when the new version of Hammerhead is available for download.

Regards

There is a bug with Hammerhead and Firefox 3.5. I’ll try to fix that today.

Hi Steve! I was just wondering is Hammerhead working with any combination of Firefox (version?) and Firebug (version?)?

Measuring page load times works when loading a Web page (the small icon at the bottom right corner of the browser) but the Hammer tab in Firebug does not seem to work properly. It starts but it just does not stop… even thought I would set the value for # of loads to one.

Is there another way to calculate the mean or average page load times using Hammerhead?

What about the problems reported in comment #18. Does they still exist?

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.20, Firebug 1.3.1, and Hammerhead 0.4 running on Mac OS X 10.5.7.
