Browser-Driven Measures

The following table describes the corresponding measure types:
Measure Description
Dom interactive Reflects the time span from the request until the browser has completed parsing all HTML elements and constructing the DOM.
Dom complete Reflects the time span from the request until the browser has completed downloading and processing all resources (images, stylesheets, scripts, and so on).
Load End Reflects the time span from the request until the browser has completed executing the onLoad function. As a final step in every page load process the browser sends an onLoad event, which triggers the onLoad function. Once the onLoad functions are executed, additional application logic might be executed.
First paint Reflects the time span from the request until the page begins to display. This measure is available for Internet Explorer only.
Time to interact Reflects the time span from the request until all TTI-relevant elements are available on the page. At this point in time, the user can interact with the web page.
Action time Reflects the time span from the request until the browser has completed downloading and processing all resources. The end of this time span varies, depending on the defined synchronization mode: If the synchronization mode HTML is defined, the action time ends when the onLoad function is completed. If the synchronization mode AJAX is defined, the action time ends during the Asynchronous Application Logic phase.
