Sutton with analytics

Sutton: a website to test performance & seo has not reach #1 yet :-)

The next stage is to get more information about visits, before adding google analytics the page performed something like this:

					Document Complete			Fully Loaded
	Load Time	First Byte	Start Render	DOM Elements	Time	Requests	Bytes In	Time	Requests	Bytes In
First View	0.355s	0.321s	0.383s	31	0.355s	1	3 KB	0.597s	3	8 KB
Repeat View	0.279s	0.240s	0.259s	31	0.279s	1	3 KB	0.290s	2	3 KB

After adding it looked performed like this:

					Document Complete			Fully Loaded
	Load Time	First Byte	Start Render	DOM Elements	Time	Requests	Bytes In	Time	Requests	Bytes In
First View	0.364s	0.331s	0.393s	36	0.364s	2	16 KB	0.687s	5	22 KB
Repeat View	0.338s	0.225s	0.369s	36	0.338s	2	4 KB	0.498s	3	4 KB

Overall its looks ok (a few extra KB - hopefully that users have already loaded from visiting other sites), however the repeat view time has crept up by nearly 0.200s, something that is not too surprising with the need to force the client to fetch a non-cacheable tracking image (GET /__utm.gif?...).
