AFAIK there is an event raised when the document is completed. Once
completed you could send back the time.

I've seen this done also using a particular page that just streams data and
that ends by some JavaScript that sends back the time it took.

Nowadays it's look like the approach is rather to let the use choose his
connection type as for some intermediate speeds, wether you choose the
enhanced or streamlined content is rather a matter of personal preference.
 
Hi ,

i have a asp web site, and i want to calculate the speed of the client.
i want to write asp page, it might also be the home page, the have an <img>
tag that point to an aspx
page that will pas to the client a 100KB image, and to calculate the time it
took my client
to receive the image,
this way i can know the client's speed and supply content accordingly.
can you suggest a way to have this aspx programmed so i can calculate the
time it took the client to download it?

TIA, z.
 
Also you could use the lowsrc attribute do display a low resolution image so
that the home page is seen as "completed". If the user has a broadband, the
100 K image will load and will replace the lorw res vesion while another
that had the time to click somewhere else won't see the hig res picture...

Is this for this reason you would like to check the speed ?

thanx,

i would prefer a way to do this only on the server.
even ISAPI filter might be helpfull here, but this i should ask in other
newsgroup.

maybe i can use the global.asax BeginRequest and EndRequest in order to do
this, but i don't know how much it's accurate.
