A set of JavaScript libraries, tools, and visualizers from Google for instrumenting, tracing, and analyzing complex web applications. It helps developers find performance problems and build smooth 60fps web apps, with a Chrome extension for capture and rich trace visualization.

Use cases

• find performance bottlenecks in web apps
• trace and visualize javascript execution
• debug jank to hit 60fps
• capture and replay canvas and webgl rendering
• track memory allocations per function
• remotely trace chrome for android pages

When to choose

• you need fine-grained custom instrumentation of javascript async flows
• you want to analyze canvas/webgl rendering or heap allocations in the browser
• you need a visualizer for millions of trace events

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained tooling - the project is largely dormant since ~2019
• you just need basic profiling - Chrome DevTools covers most needs today
• you need server-side or non-browser tracing
