As another person noted, there may be significant differences
between client and server clocks.  For accuracy, you must use
the same clock for both measurements - and you cannot use
the client-side clock, because javascript will not run until the
page is fully loaded.

How about this: embed 'start' and 'end' timestamps in the page
when it is generated, then use a javascript fake preload (call
another script instead of an image) to pass them back - the
time they are received is your timestamp for the page being
loaded.  This will obviously include a small additional delay for
the second request, but it should give you a close upper bound
on the actual time.

Re: [PHP] How to compute time to load page...

2001-12-08 Thread Alex Shi

This is an Einstein problem :)) Maybe we need a time server 

However, we can have an alternative solution to get round turn time.
Let's say on page A there's a link to a backend script. When the link
is clicked, then use javascript to pick up current time T1 and pass it to
the script. This script will send a page back to browser. Let's say this
is page B. Time T1 is passed to the js of page B. And at the end of
page B a js function will pick up current time T2. When the page
rendered at local browser, we have both T1 and T2. Thus we calculate
the time difference of a round turn. I know it is not a final solution
but this is acurate.

Hope someone else out there can give better solution.

Alex

Re: [PHP] How to compute time to load page...

2001-12-08 Thread Alex Shi

Basically I agree with you. But the second time to get time must be done
after the page is rendered on local browser. So I suggest to use Javascript
for the second time to get time, and pass the first time value into a js
function.

Re: [PHP] How to compute time to load page...

2001-12-08 Thread Andrew Forgue

Or this:

at the beginning of your script, get the time using microtime
then at the bottom, you could  get the time again, subtract
the difference and voila, thats how long the execution time
of your script is.

the search time is different than the page load timegoogle for example
can find thousands of records in a tenth of a second, yet it takes longer to
get that html result back to your browseryou could estimate page
download time by calculating the filesize and using the connection
speedcertainly not 100% accurate, but it will give you a way of
estimating.

Hi All... (again)

I was just wondering if anyone out there has made a function that will
compute how long time (seconds, milliseconds) it will take to load a page?

I see some search engines have a function that displays how long time the
search took, and I'm looking for the same thing, to compare different
designs and improve loading time for my "viewers".

Anyone?
