1. An apparatus for dynamic Web page performance scoring, comprising a processor programmed for providing:
- a tool for accessing Web page structure in connection with the real time loading, display, and operation of a Web page;
said tool comprising a module for analyzing a plurality of Web page performance factors related to said Web page while said Web page is running;
said tool comprising a module for receiving information about said Web page that is generated while analyzing said Web page performance factors;
said tool comprising a heuristic mechanism for calculating a performance sub-score for each of performance factors;
said tool comprising a module for combining said performance sub-scores for said performance factors to produce at least one interpretable Web page performance score;
said heuristic mechanism calculating any of how much text is found on a page, number of domains, and outside files;
producing a statistical breakdown of said page; and
calculating a score based on performance of said page; and
a processor programmed to provide a module for calculating a score which measures potential page load performance of pages in a Web site for visitors with varying network performance characteristics.

Abstract
A browser-based tool is provided that loads a Webpage, accesses the document object model (DOM) of the page, collects information about the page structure and parses the page, determines through the use of heuristics such factors as how much text is found on the page and the like, produces statistical breakdown of the page, and calculates a score based on performance of the page. Key to the operation of the invention is the ability to observe operation of the Webpage as it actually loads in real time, scoring the page for several of various performance factors, and producing a combined score for the various factors.

9. A computer implemented method for dynamic Web page performance scoring, comprising the steps of:
-
loading a Web page; accessing said Web page structure in connection with the real time loading, display, and operation of said Web page; collecting information relating to a plurality of Web page performance factors in connection with the real time loading, display, and operation of said Web page;
calculating a performance sub-score for each of said performance factors with a heuristic mechanism;using said collected information to calculate at least one interpretable Web page performance score; said heuristic mechanism calculating any of how much text is found on a page, number of domains, and outside files; producing a statistical breakdown of said page; and
calculating a score based on performance of said page; andcalculating a score which measures potential page load performance of pages in a Web site for visitors with varying network performance characteristics. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
