Duoload: Simplest website load comparison tool, ever

This is pretty excellent tool. (Note that it cannot be used on sites that disable iframe embedding, however.)

Today I needed a quick tool to compare the loading progression (not just loading time, but also incremental rendering) of two websites, one remote and one in my localhost. Just have them side by side and see how they load relative to each other. Maybe even record the result on video and study it afterwards. That’s all. No special features, no analysis, no stats.

read.isthe.link: A basic functionality Readability almost-clone

A basic functionality [Readability] almost-clone. This service will try to search for the body of the content to a URL, and represent it stripped back and with minimal styling.

Usage

Send your URL to https://read.isthe.link via a query string, and so long as the URL is publically available (i.e. not behind login), then the page can be re-rendered:

https://read.isthe.link?url=https://remysharp.com/node

The page will be cached for a period of time, so subsequent requests will be faster.

Usage with private URLs

You can POST a body to the service and it will give you a hashed URL to redirect to. For example:

JavaScript

const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
 
xhr.open('POST', 'https://read.isthe.link');
xhr.setRequestHeader('content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
xhr.setRequestHeader('referrer', window.location);
 
xhr.onload = () => {
  const res = JSON.parse(xhr.response);
  window.location = `https://read.isthe.link?url=${res.url}`;
}
 
xhr.send(`body=${encodeURIComponent(document.documentElement.innerHTML)}`);
