Location: Markel Plaza 4600 Cox Road Glen Allen, VA 23060 [map] Abstract If a webpage performs slowly or has occasional errors, the potential causes are many and varied. Finding the problem can be a daunting task, especially when AJAX is highly leveraged. Luckily there are runtime tools to aid this endeavor, allowing real-time inspection of and tampering with HTTP traffic. This talk will focus on profiling applications with the Fiddler web debugging proxy, FireBug, and if time permits, system-focused profiling tools.
