“This work will be based on a joint governance model to share work, and build a collaborative understanding of performance on the web to help drive browser performance in ways that help users,” Google continued in a follow-up tweet. Now, the WebKit team at Apple is partnering with Google and Firefox on Speedometer 3.0, which will update the benchmark for more modern workloads and make it capable of testing end-to-end user journeys instead of specific browser features. Speedometer 2.0 came out in 2018, bringing support for modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries. “It uses demo web applications to simulate user actions such as adding to-do items.”Īpple’s WebKit team released the first iteration of Speedometer back in 2014. Speedometer is a browser benchmark designed to measure the responsiveness of Web applications, per its website. We’re joining an important collab with Apple & to work on the next Speedometer benchmark to measure real-world browser performance.

Google on Thursday announced it is collaborating with Apple and Mozilla Foundation-backed Firefox “to work on the next Speedometer benchmark to measure real-world browser performance.”
