Chrome Speed Benchmark Shortlist

Target audience: if you are a Chrome developer who wants to quickly gauge how your change would affect Chrome performance, then this doc is for you.

Warning: this doc just gives you a general reduced list of Chrome benchmarks to try out if you don’t know where to start or just want some quick feedback. There is no guarantee that if your change doesn’t regress these benchmarks, it won’t regress any benchmarks or regress UMA metrics. We believe it’s best to rely on key UMA metrics to evaluate performance effects of any Chrome change.

Here is the list of benchmarks which we recommend: Android:

• system_health.common_mobile
• system_health.memory_mobile
• startup.mobile

Desktop:

• system_health.common_desktop
• system_health.memory_desktop

Both desktop & mobile:

• speedometer2

Instructions for how to run these benchmarks:

• Running them locally
• Running on perf trybot
