While writing your blog, it is easy to get carried away with images, videos, and the like. The result - slower load times and not a pretty experience as you start accumulating users. Since Google penalizes slower load times, this is not good news from any perspective.
There are tools that can help you overcome this issue. While some of them are available as browser plugins, some like PageSpeed are provided by Google. gtmetrix is one of the better tools that piggy backs on the "proven" frameworks to get you a reliable picture.
gtmetrix combines the goodness of YSlow (from Yahoo!) and PageSpeed (from Google), and provides a good overview. Without ever registering you can view how your blog/website fares from the eyes of PageSpeed or YSlow, for free. You can easily see what the performance is, rankings for your website and the reason for the rankings. gtmetrix also provides some solutions, but I would suggest looking around the web to narrow down to your exact solution.
One of the more interesting parts however is the ability to compare different blogs/websites. This provides an easy way to check how you compare against the competition or other blogs.
