tracing-framework

The Web Tracing Framework is a set of libraries, tools, and visualizers for the tracing and investigation of complex web applications. You spend a small amount of time instrumenting your code and it helps you discover performance problems, track regressions, and build buttery-smooth 60fps web apps.
This is still very much a work in progress, and not designed to work for all applications. If you find issues when using it with your application please contribute fixes!
For documentation, tutorials, etc see the main Web Tracing Framework website.
For a list of known issues see KNOWNISSUES or the Github issues list.

Setup

See building for instructions and testing for information on running the various tests.
