Wait Timer

 Time how long you spend waiting for web pages to load

Annoyed by the slow corporate lan? Track how much of your time is wasted waiting for the web page to load. Timer plug-in sits on toolbar, has on-off switch, and reports time between when the request is made and when the page finished loading. Also reports cumulative time, and can generate an email report with beginning and end times and time spent waiting. Allows you to enter your salary or hourly rate, and reports how much the slow network is costing the company.

       One problem is that it might be hard to distinguish between local network delays, delays in the cloud, and server response times. Don't know if this ambiguity would matter for your "delay report" though.

Yeah, cuz if only they'd upgrade the network, we'd spend far less time on the HalfBakery.

       If you're working while waiting for the HalfBakery to load, then the slow network is good for the company.
