<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>Accurately measuring performance characteristics of web applications is
an important aspect of making web applications faster. This specification
defines the necessary <a>Performance Timeline</a> primitives that enable
web developers to access, instrument, and retrieve various performance
metrics from the full lifecycle of a web application.</p>
<p>[[NAVIGATION-TIMING-2]], [[RESOURCE-TIMING-2]], and [[USER-TIMING-2]]
are examples of specifications that define timing information related to
the navigation of the document, resources on the page, and developer
scripts, respectively. Together these and other performance interfaces
define performance metrics that describe the <a>Performance Timeline</a> of
a web application. For example, the following script shows how a developer
can access the <a>Performance Timeline</a> to obtain performance metrics
related to the navigation of the document, resources on the page, and
developer scripts:</p>
<pre class="example html">
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body onload="init()">
<img id="image0" src="https://www.w3.org/Icons/w3c_main.png" />
<script>
function init() {
// see [[USER-TIMING-2]]
performance.mark("startWork");
doWork(); // Some developer code
performance.mark("endWork");
measurePerf();
}
function measurePerf() {
performance
.getEntries()
.map(entry => JSON.stringify(entry, null, 2))
.forEach(json => console.log(json));
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
</pre>
<p>Alternatively, the developer can observe the <a>Performance Timeline</a>
and be notified of new performance metrics and, optionally, previously
buffered performance metrics of specified type, via the
<a>PerformanceObserver</a> interface.</p>
<p>The <a>PerformanceObserver</a> interface was added
and is designed to address limitations of the buffer-based
approach shown in the first example. By using the PerformanceObserver
interface, the application can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Avoid polling the timeline to detect new metrics</li>
<li>Eliminate costly deduplication logic to identify new metrics</li>
<li>Eliminate race conditions with other consumers that may want to
manipulate the buffer</li>
</ul>
<p>The developer is encouraged to use <a>PerformanceObserver</a> where
possible. Further, new performance API's and metrics may only be available
through the <a>PerformanceObserver</a> interface. The observer works by
specifying a callback in the constructor and specifying the performance
entries it's interested in via the <a data-link-for=
"PerformanceObserver">observe()</a> method. The user agent chooses when to
execute the callback, which receives performance entries that have been
queued.</p>
<p>There are special considerations regarding initial page load when using
the <a>PerformanceObserver</a> interface: a registration must be active to
receive events but the registration script may not be available or may not
be desired in the critical path. To address this, user agents buffer some
number of events while the page is being constructed, and these buffered
events can be accessed via the <a data-link-for=
"PerformanceObserverInit">buffered</a> flag when registering the observer.
When this flag is set, the user agent retrieves and dispatches events that
it has buffered, for the specified entry type, and delivers them in the
first callback after the <a data-link-for=
"PerformanceObserver">observe()</a> call occurs.</p>
<p class="note">The number of buffered events is determined by the
specification that defines the metric and buffering is intended to used for
first-N events only; buffering is not unbounded or continuous.</p>

<p>The <a>PerformanceObserver</a> interface can be used to observe the

<p>Each <a>PerformanceObserver</a> has these associated concepts:</p>

<li>A <code>DOMString</code> <dfn>observer type</dfn> which is initially

<p>The `PerformanceObserver(callback)` constructor must create a new

set to <var>callback</var> and then return it.</p>
<p>A <dfn>registered performance observer</dfn> is a <a>struct</a>

cross origin leaks.
</p>
<p class="note">The <a>last performance entry id</a> has an initial random
value, and is increased by a small number chosen by the user agent instead
of 1 to discourage developers from considering it as a counter of the
number of entries that have been generated in the web application.</p>

<h3>Privacy Considerations</h3>
<p>This specification extends the {{Performance}} interface defined by [[HR-TIME-3]] and
provides methods to queue and retrieve entries from the <a>performance timeline</a>. Please
refer to [[HR-TIME-3]] for privacy considerations of exposing high-resoluting timing
information. Each new specification introducing new performance entries should have its own
privacy considerations as well.</p>
<p>The <a>last performance entry id</a> is deliberately initialized to a
random value, and is incremented by another small value every time a new
{{PerformanceEntry}} is queued. User agents may choose to use a consistent
increment for all users, or may pick a different increment for each
<a>global object</a>, or may choose a new random increment for each
{{PerformanceEntry}}. However, in order to prevent cross-origin leaks, and
ensure that this does not enable fingerprinting, user agents must not just
pick a unique random integer, and use it as a consistent increment for all
{{PerformanceEntry}} objects across all <a>global objects</a>.
