Statsy – more data points for markup quality

In the spirit of the content-to-markup ratio bookmarklet, here's another one that gives you some more data points to help you judge the quality of a page's markup and help answer the old question - where does all this page weight go.

Install the statsy bookmarklet

Drag this link to your bookmarks:

statsy

the results

Once you run the bookmarklet it alerts these stats points:

• JS attributes (e.g. onclick) - this is the sum of all onclick, onmouseover and so on including the attribute names. So for example <a onclick="#"> is 11 characters (bytes) of JavaScript attributes code
• CSS style attributes - the sum of all style="..."
• Inline JS - the sum of all the contents of all script tags (excluding the tag itself)
• Inline CSS - sum of all <style> tag contents
• All innerHTML - this is document.documentElement.innerHTML.length, it should be close to the ungzipped size of a page, provided the page is not doing a lot of DOM manipulation
• # DOM elements - the total number of elements on the page is counted simply using document.getElementsByTagName('*').length

Here's example output:

Thanks!

Hope you'll find this bookmarklet useful when looking at a page as a companion to YSlow/PageSpeed.

What else should I add to this bookmarklet? # of font tags, # of table tags...?
