Charles Murphy is a tool that can be used to analyze access logs from web servers. It can parse an access log and, using configurable rules, determine the resource types being requested. Furthermore it will attempt to determine which requests are page views, and which requests are for resources required by a page. Using this information it can show you which pages in your app request which resources and how much.

So you can get data like: homePage.htm requests 4 CSS files, 3 JS, and 10 images.

Other statistics are also available, such as total page weight, resource request counts, page request counts, and more.

These numbers can be used to help make performance enhancement decisions such as which images should be sprited or which CSS/JS files should be built together.

The tool was originally written to analyze CSV outputs from the Charles web proxy utility(this is where the name came from). It is still capable of doing this, but I think analyzing the access logs is more powerful.

This project is built using the WindowKit UI library and DDevil data structures.
