Given a server that sends the Server-Timing header, for example a Node.js server like this:
js
const http = require("http");
function requestHandler(request, response) {
const headers = {
"Server-Timing": `
cache;desc="Cache Read";dur=23.2,
db;dur=53,
app;dur=47.2
`.replace(/\n/g, ""),
};
response.writeHead(200, headers);
response.write("");
return setTimeout(() => {
response.end();
}, 1000);
}
http.createServer(requestHandler).listen(3000).on("error", console.error);
The PerformanceServerTiming entries are now observable from JavaScript via the PerformanceResourceTiming.serverTiming property and live on navigation and resource entries.
Example using a PerformanceObserver, which notifies of new navigation and resource performance entries as they are recorded in the browser's performance timeline. Use the buffered option to access entries from before the observer creation.
js
const observer = new PerformanceObserver((list) => {
list.getEntries().forEach((entry) => {
entry.serverTiming.forEach((serverEntry) => {
console.log(
`${serverEntry.name} (${serverEntry.description}) duration: ${serverEntry.duration}`,
);
// Logs "cache (Cache Read) duration: 23.2"
// Logs "db () duration: 53"
// Logs "app () duration: 47.2"
});
});
});
["navigation", "resource"].forEach((type) =>
observer.observe({ type, buffered: true }),
);
Example using Performance.getEntriesByType(), which only shows navigation and resource performance entries present in the browser's performance timeline at the time you call this method:
js
for (const entryType of ["navigation", "resource"]) {
for (const { name: url, serverTiming } of performance.getEntriesByType(
entryType,
)) {
if (serverTiming) {
for (const { name, description, duration } of serverTiming) {
console.log(`${name} (${description}) duration: ${duration}`);
// Logs "cache (Cache Read) duration: 23.2"
// Logs "db () duration: 53"
// Logs "app () duration: 47.2"
}
}
}
}
