@Prithvi Yahoo itself provides plenty of advice about improving scores.

Google Page Speed is surely more efficient as being a part of google it helps in optimizing the content more quickly with webmasters tools. In my case, Google Page speed is giving decent reports, but Yslow is not. Can you suggest a way to get decent performance record from Yahoo Yslow also??

@Mahendra Yadav They are similar, but not identical. Also pay attention to profile used in YSlow. As for combining JavaScript that can be done by hand or by tools for that. It can easily break some scripts, so really it's very case by case what can and should be combined.

@Hemal Shah I did a post on GTmetrix as well. You cannot choose YSlow profiles in GTmetrix, so results will be slightly different from regular YSlow running with different profile.

I got to know more abt Page Speed and Y!Slow from my friends see them as a challenge in web development.

I am using GTMetrix to gauge the performance since I am not a fan of development and testing on Firebug.

Do any one have any idea, if the results are same for the plug ins and GTMetrix?
