console: profile() static method

{{APIRef("Console API")}}{{Non-standard_header}} {{AvailableInWorkers}}

The console.profile() static method starts recording a performance profile (for example, the Firefox performance tool).

You can optionally supply an argument to name the profile and this then enables you to stop only that profile if multiple profiles being recorded. See {{domxref("console/profileEnd_static", "console.profileEnd()")}} to see how this argument is interpreted.

To stop recording call {{domxref("console/profileEnd_static", "console.profileEnd()")}}.
