grunt-loadstats

grunt-loadstats (WIP)

Grunt task for measuring web page rendering performance through the PhantomJS headless browser.

The task works in conjunction with external plugins in order to generate a HAR formatted JSON document and store or process it.

Plugins

• Console Plugin (ConsolePlugin)
  • The only built-in plugin, mainly to illustrate the use. It outputs the HAR formatted documents, along with a bunch of debug information, directly into the console.
• MongoDB Plugin (loadstats-mongodb-plugin)
  • This plugin allows you to take the HAR formatted document and store it directly into MongoDB.

Getting Started

npm install grunt-loadstats --save-dev
