With many cheap shared hostings the speed of the servers is very bad. Waiting 3-10 seconds to load a basic wordpress page (with +_ 12 queries) is unacceptable. However, not all shared hostings are bad, I have very good experiences with some.
Now my question: in which ways can I easily test the speed of the server? (especially the db, as that seems to be the problem often)
Clicking around and looking at the net panel in Firebug gives a reasonable idea about the response of the page and it's components, but it's not a very accurate or standard way.

There are services out there, but they are expensive http://www.siteconfidence.com
