I would also recommend to use this online free performance testing tool – http://Site-Perf.com/
It measure loading speed of page and it’s requisites (images/js/css) like browsers do and shows nice detailed chart – so you can easily spot bottlenecks. It’s very detailed and accurate, supports a lot of features like Keep-Alive and HTTP-compression.
Also useful feature is that this tool can measure quality of internet link of your server.

The best way to optimize the http requests are:
1.Use CSS sprites instead of separate images
2.Use formatted CSS and java-script instead of lengthy file have use-less gaps.
3.Use less no of CSS and JS (as per required)
for example on wordpress their are various useless scripts and CSS called due to several plugins. You can avoid all this by removing the from header.
4.Avoid use of iframes
5.Avoid flash files on the home / landing pages.
