Useful Resources for

Web Development
Here are some useful web resources that assisted during
the development process of my website/blog (a never
ending process).

Pingdom Website Speed Test

If you care about web performance and loading times, then
you definitely want to check out the Pingdom's website
performance tool. This tool lets you view millisecond
latencies for DNS requests, subsequent GET requests, total
page load time, etc., from various servers around the world.

If you want to use web fonts from Google, but dislike
Google's tracking, then the next tool is for you! The following

download them for self-hosting.

a lightweight LaTex typesetting solution for you.

Commento commenting platform

Commento provides a lightweight alternative to Disqus, the
currently de facto standard for comments. Its benefits are
fast loading times, and (apparently) privacy focused design.

Benchmarking Tools
Benchmark your site using programs such as apachebench
and httperf! You can find out how many users your site can
handle, and try to increase your site's performance before a
hug-of-death.
