Backfire is a full client-server roundtrip solution that gathers your CSS changes, sends them to the server and saves them. We’ve made it available in all Quplo prototypes from the Goodies page, but we’ve also made the Backfire engine open source with full documentation and including a server-side example.

Faster apps for a faster web: introducing Speed Tracer – Official Google Blog:
Speed Tracer is a Google Chrome extension that enables developers to identify performance problems in their web apps using a “Sluggishness Graph,” in combination with many other metrics. In the spirit of clean, simple design, developers need only look at the Y-Axis of their application’s Sluggishness Graph to see how they’re doing:
* If the y-axis is close to zero, then the app is fast
* If the y-axis registers around 100%, then the app is, well, sluggish

Using Page Speed
Page Speed generates its results based on the state of the page at the time you run the tool. To ensure the most accurate results, you should wait until the page finishes loading before running Page Speed. Otherwise, Page Speed may not be able to fully analyze resources that haven’t finished downloading.
