Phones Canada is excited to share the latest release from browserbench.org – Speedometer 3.0! This new tool, developed in collaboration with browser engine developers such as Apple’s WebKit, Google’s Blink, and Mozilla’s Gecko, is set to revolutionize real-world browser performance measurement.

Originally introduced in 2014 by Apple’s WebKit team, Speedometer was created to assess website and web app responsiveness. Unlike previous benchmarks, Speedometer 3.0 simulates user interactions in web applications, providing a more accurate evaluation of browser performance.

In 2018, Speedometer 2.0 was launched in partnership with Google’s Chrome team, incorporating the latest frameworks and libraries available at the time. Since then, it has become a widely-used tool for performance optimization among browser engines and independent testers.

Now, with the release of Speedometer 3.0, browser developers have come together to enhance web browser performance testing. This latest version has been developed under a joint multi-stakeholder governance model involving major engine browsers like Blink, Gecko, and WebKit.

Speedometer 3.0 offers improved measurement accuracy and evaluates a broader range of content than its predecessors, setting a new standard in browser performance evaluation. As browser developers continue to refine their engines, this tool will open up new possibilities for web developers in the future.

With its focus on reflecting real-world web experiences, Speedometer 3.0 is expected to evolve over time and drive continuous improvement in browser performance. Stay tuned for more updates on how this groundbreaking tool will shape the future of web development!
