Originally released by Yahoo in 2007 as a web development tool, it was one of the first website development tools in the market. One of the major differences between YSlow and Google PageSpeed, for example, is that YSlow is a plugin that must be installed in the browser. Today, Chrome dominates the market, so tools like PageSpeed are more relevant. Additionally, most of the YSlow extensions are no longer available.
