You might want to learn how to search the help file.

In this case, I searched for time and wait:

#include <IE.au3>

$begin = TimerInit()
$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.cnn.com")
_IELoadWait($oIE)
$dif = TimerDiff($begin)
MsgBox(0, "Time Difference", $dif)

Thanks a lot dear ..... Also your suggestion for searching helpfile is correct..... I tried to search but couldnt find it......thanks again

The _IELoadWait($oIE) line is not needed as it is built into the _IECreate function via the IENavigate UDF.

#include <IE.au3>

$begin = TimerInit()
$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.cnn.com")
;_IELoadWait($oIE)
$dif = TimerDiff($begin)
MsgBox(0, "Time Difference", $dif)

...and this version should take the browser window creation time out of the equation:

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("about:blank")

$begin = TimerInit()
_IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.cnn.com")
$dif = TimerDiff($begin)
MsgBox(0, "Time Difference", $dif)

Having walked you thru all of that, you might find it better to use InetGet and set the reload parm to "1 = Forces a reload from the remote site" to avoid IE temp file cache issues.

Also note that it takes time for a computer and browser to render (paint/show) the page you requested - meaning, if you use the _IECreate/_IENavigate method mentioned in my previous posts on slow hardware, you will see a difference in the "load time". The difference will be relative, so you might still find it of some use, but InetGet should be less influenced by hardware.

That "time to render" is part of this site's speed test:

See the brief explanation of MaxSpeed and SurfSpeed near the bottom of that page.

You are welcome... but if you run this code, you might see that a lot of the variation is not the fault of the proxy.

TrayTip("", "working", 100)

$begin = TimerInit()
InetGet("http://infospeed.verizon.net/car/data5MB.zip", "tempfile", 1)
$dif1 = TimerDiff($begin)
TrayTip("", "time1  " & Int($dif1), 100)

$begin = TimerInit()
InetGet("http://infospeed.verizon.net/car/data5MB.zip", "tempfile", 1)
$dif2 = TimerDiff($begin)
TrayTip("", "time1  " & Int($dif1) & @CR & _
        "time2  " & Int($dif2), 100)

$begin = TimerInit()
InetGet("http://infospeed.verizon.net/car/data5MB.zip", "tempfile", 1)
$dif3 = TimerDiff($begin)
TrayTip("", "time1  " & Int($dif1) & @CR & _
        "time2  " & Int($dif2) & @CR & _
        "time3  " & Int($dif3), 100)
