Good way to profile page load time from mobile browsers


I want to compare page load time between mobile browsers (such as iOS Safari, Android browser). I can't find profiling tools for these mobile browsers.

Do you have any good idea?

One possible option I think now is using UIWebView of iOS and WebView of Android to implement simple applications which can detect page loading events.


Solution

  • Because of limitation of UIWebView (UIWebView and Safari comparison), for iOS using UIWebView to create simple app to profile page loading time is not good idea.

    Instead of this, I can use web inspector for mobile Safari browser. Please see this Apple document.

    For Android, WebView could be a choice to profile page loading time by overriding WebViewCient's event methods. I couldn't find iOS like profiling tool for Android browser.
