It's simple, open THIS address and enter the URL of the site in a large field, click on "Test Now" and wait a few moments. You will now see the results of the analysis and below a detailed view of all the elements on the site.

You can sort the results, e.g. by the loading time of the elements, by the size of each of them, by the file extension..etc.
