Estimo

Estimo was created with idea in mind how to measure parse/compile/execution time for javascript libs.

It uses puppeteer to generate Chrome Timelines. Which can be transformed in human-readable format by Tracium.

Keep in mind there result depends on your device and available resources.

Inspired by Size Limit. Thanks @ai for support.

Why?

JavaScript is the most expensive part of our frontend.

We should really care about size. But in additional to size, we also need to think about how long our JavaScript will process.

3.5 seconds to process 170 KB of JS and 0.1 second for 170 KB of JPEG. Addy Osmani

Install

npm i estimo

or

yarn add estimo

JS API

const estimo = require('estimo')
const path = require('path')

;(async () => {
  const report = await estimo(
    path.resolve(path.join(__dirname, '..', 'libs', 'someLib.js'))
  )
  console.log(report)
})()

CLI

estimo -l ./libs/someLib.js

Output

[
  {
    "library": "someLib.js",
    "parseHTML": 1.62,
    "styleLayout": 54.98,
    "paintCompositeRender": 1.1,
    "scriptParseCompile": 1.16,
    "scriptEvaluation": 8.66,
    "javaScript": 9.82,
    "garbageCollection": 0,
    "other": 15.83,
    "total": 83.35
  }
]

Multiple files

You can also pass few files and they will process in one Chrome instance.

estimo -l ./libs/someLib.js ./libs/myLib.js

const report = await estimo([
  '/path/to/libs/someLib.js',
  '/path/to/libs/myLib.js',
])

Time

All metrics in milliseconds.

We measure system-cpu time. The number of seconds that the process has spent on the CPU.

We not including time spent waiting for its turn on the CPU.

Fields Description

• library - Library name.

• parseHTML - Time which was spent for ParseHTML, ParseAuthorStyleSheet events.

• styleLayout - Time which was spent for ScheduleStyleRecalculation, UpdateLayoutTree, InvalidateLayout, Layout events.

• paintCompositeRender - Time which was spent for Animation, HitTest, PaintSetup, Paint, PaintImage, RasterTask, ScrollLayer, UpdateLayer, UpdateLayerTree, CompositeLayers events.

• scriptParseCompile - Time which was spent for v8.compile, v8.compileModule, v8.parseOnBackground events.

• scriptEvaluation - Time which was spent for EventDispatch, EvaluateScript, v8.evaluateModule, FunctionCall, TimerFire, FireIdleCallback, FireAnimationFrame, RunMicrotasks, V8.Execute events.

• javaScript - Time which was spent for both event groups (scriptParseCompile and scriptEvaluation).

• garbageCollection - Time which was spent for MinorGC, MajorGC, BlinkGC.AtomicPhase, ThreadState::performIdleLazySweep, ThreadState::completeSweep, BlinkGCMarking events.

• other - Time which was spent for MessageLoop::RunTask, TaskQueueManager::ProcessTaskFromWorkQueue, ThreadControllerImpl::DoWork events.

• total - Total time.

CPU Throttling Rate Options

The CPU Throttling Rate Emulation Options allow you to generate a Performance timeline under specified CPU conditions. To turn on CPU emulation, you must pass the emulateCpuThrottling flag along with additional configuration options.

• emulateCpuThrottling (optional; false) - This flag allows the other CPU Throttling Rate Options to be respected. They will be completely ignored unless this flag is set.

• cpuThrottlingRate (optional; 1) - Sets the CPU throttling rate. The number represents the slowdown factor (e.g., 2 is a "2x" slowdown).

JS API:

...
await estimo('/absolute/path/to/lib', {
  emulateCpuThrottling: true,
  cpuThrottlingRate: 4,
})
...

CLI:

estimo -l ./libs/someLib.js --cpu --cpuRate 4

Network Emulation Options

The Network Emulation Options allow you to generate a Performance timeline under specified network conditions. To turn on network emulation, you must pass the emulateNetworkConditions flag along with additional configuration options.

• emulateNetworkConditions (optional; false) - This flag allows the other Network Emulation Options to be respected. They will be completely ignored unless this flag is set.

• offline (optional; false) - Passing the offline flag to the generate command emulate a network disconnect.

• latency (optional; 0) - Artificial, minimum latency between request sent and response header received expressed in milliseconds (ms).

• downloadThroughput (optional: 0) - The maximum download speed in megabits per second. 0 disables throttling.

• uploadThroughput (optional: 0) - The maximum upload speed in megabits per second. 0 disables throttling.

• connectionType (optional: none) - A label of the supposed underlying network connection type that the browser is using. Supported values are documented under Chrome Headless' ConnectType documentation. Variants: none, cellular2g, cellular3g, cellular4g, bluetooth, ethernet, wifi, wimax, other.

JS API:

...
await estimo('/absolute/path/to/lib', {
  emulateNetworkConditions: true,
  offline: false,
  latency: 150,
  downloadThroughput: 1.6,
  uploadThroughput: 0.75,
  connectionType: 'cellular3g',
})
...

CLI:

estimo -l ./libs/someLib.js --net --latency 150 --download 1.6 --upload 0.75 --connection cellular3g
