BrowserSpeed: Free Browser Benchmarking Tool

Free and open-source browser benchmarking tool for Windows and Linux, measuring performance of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera

What is BrowserSpeed?

BrowserSpeed is a free and open-source web browser benchmarking and comparison tool for Windows and Linux operating systems. It allows users to objectively measure the performance of various aspects of popular web browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Opera and more.

The tool runs a series of automated tests to benchmark key web browser performance metrics including page load speed, JavaScript execution speed, CSS rendering speed, canvas 2D and 3D graphics rendering speeds, WebGL graphics performance, memory usage, and more. The benchmarks simulate real-world browser usage scenarios such as loading popular websites, executing JavaScript code, rendering complex web graphics, and so on.

After completing the automated benchmark testing suite, BrowserSpeed generates detailed performance reports and comparison charts allowing users to easily visualize the speed test results across different browsers. The tool enables quantifying the performance impacts from browser configuration changes, updates, addons or other optimizations. Users can also compare browser performance across different operating systems.

By providing a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use browser speed testing and comparison platform, BrowserSpeed aims to help users make data-driven decisions when choosing or configuring their primary web browser for the best possible performance.
