PerformanceMeasure

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2015.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

PerformanceMeasure is an abstract interface for PerformanceEntry objects with an entryType of "measure". Entries of this type are created by calling performance.measure() to add a named DOMHighResTimeStamp (the measure) between two marks to the browser's performance timeline.

Instance properties

This interface defines:

PerformanceMeasure.detail: Contains arbitrary metadata about the measure.

In addition, it extends the following PerformanceEntry properties by qualifying/constraining the properties as follows:

PerformanceEntry.entryType: Returns "measure".
PerformanceEntry.name: Returns the name given to the measure when it was created via a call to performance.measure().
PerformanceEntry.startTime: Returns a timestamp given to the measure when performance.measure() was called.
PerformanceEntry.duration: Returns a DOMHighResTimeStamp that is the duration of the measure (typically, the measure's end mark timestamp minus its start mark timestamp).

Instance methods

This interface has no methods.

Example

See the example in Using the User Timing API.
