Performance

The Performance interface provides access to performance-related information for the current page. It's part of the High Resolution Time API, but is enhanced by the Performance Timeline API, the Navigation Timing API, the User Timing API, and the Resource Timing API.

An object of this type can be obtained by calling the Window.performance read-only attribute.

Properties

The Performance interface doesn't inherit any properties.

Performance.navigation Read only

A PerformanceNavigation object that provides useful context about the operations included in the times listed in timing, including whether the page was a load or a refresh, how many redirections occurred, and so forth.

  Performance.timing Read only

A PerformanceTiming object containing latency-related performance information. Not available in workers.

performance.memory

A non-standard extension added in Chrome, this property provides an object with basic memory usage information. You should not use this non-standard API.

Performance.timeOrigin Read only  

Returns the high resolution timestamp of the start time of the performance measurement.

Event handlers

Performance.onresourcetimingbufferfull

An EventTarget which is a callback that will be called when the resourcetimingbufferfull event is fired.
