Evaluation of page load performance of web browser

摘要

A new method and computer program for evaluating page load performance of a web browser is presented. The evaluation method comprises obtaining a first browser timestamp from the web browser when the web browser starts a page process in order to load a page from the server. Further, the method comprises obtaining at least one intermediate timestamp associated with an intermediate stage during the page load. The intermediate timestamp can be for example a second browser timestamp, a first server timestamp or a second server timestamp. After that, a third browser timestamp is obtained from the web browser when the web browser completes the page load. The obtained timestamps are used for calculating a first and second page load performance parameters relating respectively to a first and second technical aspect of the page load performance.

1. A method of evaluating page load performance of a web browser by means of a computer program, the method comprising the computer implemented steps of:
obtaining a first browser timestamp from the web browser, the first browser timestamp being associated with the web browser starting a page process in order to load a page from a server; obtaining at least one intermediate timestamp associated with an intermediate stage during the page load, the at least one intermediate timestamp comprising at least one of a second browser timestamp, a first server timestamp and a second server timestamp; and obtaining a third browser timestamp from the web browser, the third browser timestamp being associated with the web browser completing the page load whereby the page process ends; calculating a first page load performance parameter relating to a first technical aspect of the page load performance, wherein the first page load performance parameter is calculated on the basis of a first set of at least two of said obtained timestamps; and calculating a second page load performance parameter relating to a second technical aspect of the page load performance, wherein the second page load performance parameter is calculated on the basis of a second set of at least two of said obtained timestamps, the second set being least partially different than the first set.
