You can also try www.estimix.com – a free tool that provides a nice summary of the website performance.The estimation provided by estimix is the result of a complex analysis based on factors like: the age of the website, the demographic structure of the traffic, the countries where the website is popular and sources of the traffic.

Great list. I’m surprised more people don’t use the Alexa Sparky add-on.

i second the vote for QSS cuz’ Quirk Search status shows MozRank even if you are NOT seomoz pro member!

SEObook toolbar

Taking nothing away from the majority of the other tools mentioned, we also like the low overhead of Quirk Search Status.

QSS offers features (highlight nofollows) that place minimal strain on casual Firefox browing while providing immediate visual feedback. There are also a fair number of on-demand quick hits to archive.org, whos, and other common tools among several of these add-ons.

While it’s not directly SEO, the Yslow add-on for Firefox can also be useful in the era of “user experience” and will put numbers on guesses.

It’s been said Mules are impatient, but humans may also find a page that takes “30 seconds to load” may, in fact, be taking 5.8 seconds.

@Brian Yeah all the votes for SEO Quake have me realizing I need to take a much closer look at that tool.

The “Inspect Element” feature in Chrome is pretty nifty (when it works) – and they’re going to be rolling out add-on support in the future. How extensive that will be is yet to be seen. It is a very fast and usable browser though.

Yet another vote for SEO Quake, it really is the best SEO Toolbar out there IMO. Someone mentioned a toolbar for Chrome – unfortunately Chrome doesn’t support toolbars. If it wasn’t for that issue and a few other pesky issues like no view selection source, Chrome would be my FT browser of choice.

@Winooski Well, don’t I have egg on my face…

@Tom I do a lot of development work myself and Firebug is freakin amazing for the purpose you mention – the ability to edit CSS in real time literally shaves hours off projects.
