Can IBM Page Detailer measure the “rendering time” of my browser?
No. IBM Page Detailer gets its timing data from the calls your browser makes through Windows Sockets. The captured data does not include the browser’s rendering time. The timing you capture will be influenced by how fast the browser can determine which item to fetch next. For example, if your page contains base HTML, additional scripts, and a style sheet, it may take the browser some time to assemble all of the pieces and execute them in order to determine the complete address of the next item to fetch. You may see that time as a gap in the Page Detailer chart when no sockets are active.
