 1. Google Analytics Tells you everything you could ever possibly want to know about your site visitors, short of giving you their names and addresses. Be sure to check out the article on incorporating Google Analytics into your Joomla site (coming soon). 2. XML Sitemaps  Builds sitemaps which can be submitted to Google and Yahoo, assisting with the process of crawling your site. HTML sitemaps can be generated to allow visitors to navigate your site more easily. 3. Web Developer Tools For Firefox  A very useful set of tools for Firefox. Allows you to disable/enable pretty much everything, check for standards compliance, javascript errors and too many other features to list. If you don't already use Firefox, then it's worth switching just for this add-on. 4. Browsershots  Browsershots creates screenshots of your website in various browsers. You specify which browsers to generate screenshots for and what screen size, colour depth, etc. to test with. Your request is then placed in a queue and an esimate given on how long you can expect to wait - this varies depending on how many boxes you tick. Very useful for visually checking that the site is displaying correctly across different browsers/platforms. No prizes for guessing that it is usually earlier versions of Internet Explorer that manage to make a mess of things! 5. Website Grader  Quoting directly from Website Grader: "Website Grader is a free seo tool that measures the marketing effectiveness of a website. It provides a score that incorporates things like website traffic, SEO, social popularity and other technical factors. It also provides some basic advice on how the website can be improved from a marketing perspective".
