timing.js

timing.js

Timing.js is a small set of helpers for working with the Navigation Timing API to identify where your application is spending its time. Useful as a standalone script, DevTools Snippet or bookmarklet.

Features

• Normalizes firstPaint across Chrome, Opera and IE11 to timing.getTimes().firstPaint. Firefox may be able to do similar with MozAfterPaint
• Adds firstPaintTime (firstPaint - load/nav start)
• Adds:domReadyTime, initDomTreeTime, loadEventTime, loadTime, redirectTime, requestTime, uploadEventTime connectTime

Installation

Clone

Download the latest version or just git clone https://github.com/addyosmani/timing.js.git.

Bower:

$ bower install timing-js

npm:

$ npm install timing.js

Usage

By default, running the script will print out a summary table of measurements. The API for the script is as follows:

Get measurements:

timing.getTimes();

Print a summary table of measurements (uses console.table()):

timing.printSimpleTable();

Also works in Firefox DevTools (Firefox Nightly only for now):

Print a complete table of measurements (including rest of window.performance):

timing.printTable();
