I've spoken about how much I like coradiant, especially with the way they can capture all of the Web users session data etc.
On a different note, while thats good to evaluate the response time of pages etc, what about how much users actually like the webpage, or what they're doing on a webpage. I came across this posting from sixrevisions : 7 Incredibly Useful Tools for Evaluating a Web Design. Sixrevisions is going to be come a daily stop for me now!
I already use YSlow and it's pretty neat, especially when you want to track down whats taking the most time, or how best to optimize your webpage, but there are a few more tools that caught my eye.
Also, incase you miss it, there is a note about
Crazy Egg from one of the commenters on sixrevisons :

Crazy Egg is NOT for a production website by any means. I use it for the EPA websites and while it looks nice and flashy, it is not accurate at all after a few weeks. The counts just seem to go loopy after a few weeks. Support is just as weak. Every time I called, it sounded as if I woke the guy up or pulled him away from a tv show. Obviously a small company that was unprepared for moderate to high volume. If you have clients that want a real and accurate heatmap, look elswhere.
Please note, that that comment is there only because I'vnt tried it yet, but its also a fairly significant comment. I'm sure the reader(s) of this blog will understand that I'm in no way for or against using any of the tools on that site. I've tried only YSlow and I highly recommend it though :)
