Browser Calories
The web is getting fatter. If you take a look at the top 1 million sites, you will see that median page weight is now bigger than SimCity 2000. Can you believe that?
Page weight is a super important metric and affects conversion, retention, and SEO. Actually, it not only costs user engagement — it costs money.
That's why Browser Calories exists. We will help you set a performance budget and measure if a page is exceeding these numbers or not.
Once you install this extension, you'll see a donut icon next to the address bar. Every time you hit that donut, we'll calculate a performance budget based on the tab that is currently open in your browser.
Behind the scenes, a new HTTP request is made and the response is broken down by resource type. Then, we compare the size of each resource with the page weight from top 100 sites.
You can also configure your own budget comparison based on competitors or whatever number you come up with your team.
