List of web browser performance tests

There are a variety of software performance tests for web browsers, which measure rendering and animation, DOM transformations, string operations, mathematical calculations, sorting algorithms, graphic performance tests and memory instructions. Browser speed tests have been used during browser wars to prove superiority of specific web browsers.

Speedometer was originally developed by the WebKit team at Apple and released in 2014 and was updated in 2018. Speedometer 3.1 tests a browser's Web app responsiveness by timing simulated user interactions.

This benchmark simulates user actions for adding, completing, and removing to-do items using multiple examples in TodoMVC. Each example in TodoMVC implements the same todo application using DOM APIs in different ways. Some call DOM APIs directly from ECMAScript 5 (ES5), ECMASCript 2015 (ES6), ES6 transpiled to ES5, and Elm transpiled to ES5. Others use one of eleven popular JavaScript frameworks: React, React with Redux, Ember.js, Backbone.js, AngularJS, (new) Angular, Vue.js, jQuery, Preact, Inferno, and Flight. Many of these frameworks are used on the most popular websites in the world, such as Facebook and Twitter. The performance of these types of operations depends on the speed of the DOM APIs, the JavaScript engine, CSS style resolution, layout, and other technologies.

Peacekeeper is a platform-independent benchmark by Futuremark that tests rendering, mathematical and memory operations. It takes approx. 5 minutes for execution and tells the results of other browsers with different CPUs. Futuremark stopped maintaining Peacekeeper in July 2015. The test was taken offline in March 2018 and is no longer available.

Microsoft maintains a suite of performance-oriented tests, often designed to test and stress JavaScript and rendering performance. These tests are typically designed to highlight IE's performance[citation needed], but are compatible with other major browsers.

WebXPRT is a cross-platform browser benchmark that runs HTML5- and JavaScript-based workloads. The benchmark provides scores for six individual workloads, as well as an overall score. WebXPRT is published by the BenchmarkXPRT Development Community, which is administered by Principled Technologies, and is one of the BenchmarkXPRT benchmarks. WebXPRT 4 is the most current version of WebXPRT.

Performance test for HTML5 3D applications. It tests performance in both Canvas3D and WebGL.

A Mozilla test suite based on SunSpider tests. It takes several minutes for execution and displays very detailed information about every single test task.
