## What it is
Hiper is a Node.js CLI tool that loads a web page repeatedly in a headless Chrome browser and statistically analyzes PerformanceTiming metrics such as DNS lookup, TTFB, white screen time, and load time. It reports aggregated results across multiple runs to help developers measure and compare page performance.

## Use cases
- measure average page load time over many runs
- analyze TTFB and DNS lookup times for a website
- compare performance before and after frontend changes
- test page load with cache or JavaScript disabled
- audit white screen and DOM ready times of webpages

## When to choose
- you want quick statistical page-load metrics from the terminal
- you need repeatable headless browser performance tests without writing scripts
- you want a lightweight alternative to full Lighthouse audits for timing metrics

## When to avoid
- you need full Lighthouse-style audits with scores and recommendations
- you need continuous performance monitoring in production
- you need non-Chrome browser engines or mobile device testing
