Browser Speed Test

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A browser speed test is a computer benchmark to measure the performance of the JavaScript engine of a web browser. In general the software is available online, located on a website, where different algorithms are loaded and performed in the browser client. Typical test tasks are rendering and animation, DOM transformations, string operations, mathematical calculations, sorting algorithms and memory instructions. Browser speed tests have been used during browser wars to prove superiority of specific web browsers. The popular Acid3 test is no particular speed test but checks browser conformity to web standards (though it checks whether a general performance goal is met or not).
