This tracing tool visually displays a series of events. From rendering pages and running JavaScript to loading network resources. All arranged in a timeline. This way, you can not only see how long different tasks take to complete, but also analyze how these tasks affect the overall performance of your browser. Whether you are a developer looking for ways to improve the efficiency of your web applications or simply someone who is fascinated by advanced Google Chrome features, this article to information about the Google Chrome tracing viewer will help you gain the knowledge needed to explore and understand browser performance.
Analyze Google Chrome or web app performance with tracing
To open the tracing viewer in Google Chrome, type in the address bar: chrome://tracing/
Click the “Record” button to start the recording process. You can choose from different recording categories depending on the type of data you want to collect. There are options for tracing the renderer, the browser, the GPU, and more.
You can also set custom configurations for more targeted analytics. Once you have selected the categories you want, start recording.
First, perform the desired actions in Chrome that you want to investigate. When you are ready to stop recording, just click the “Stop” button.
Once you stop recording, a timeline appears with color-coded events and tasks based on their type. You can zoom in on time intervals and mouse over individual events for more detailed information. This tool provides an overview of performance, including the start and end times of tasks, their duration, and even the stack of JavaScript functions.
Analyzing this data will help you understand how tasks are performed, identify any delays, and observe how different processes interact. Pay attention to tasks that can cause the UI thread to become unresponsive, as they can affect the overall responsiveness of the application.
If necessary, you can export the trace files to share with others or import them to your computer for analysis.
The data you see or want to track depends heavily on what app, website or UI you are trying to debug. I hope to have informed you with this. Thank you for reading!
