Browser speed test script

[Joe_Bradfield]

any body allready have a script to run a browser speed comparison

set theLoc to "http://www.chemicon.com"
open location theLoc with "safari"
open location theLoc with "Internet explorer" 
open location theLoc with "Camino" 
open location theLoc with "Mozilla Firebird"  

obviously this will not work

but i want to ba able to compare how long it takes to load a specific page in each of the browsers

Hi
Here one small suggestion :

--Use "Jon's Commands" Osax <"http://www.seanet.com/~jonpugh/">
set T1 to the ticks

tell application "Internet Explorer" to (Activate) & (GetURL "http://www.apple.com/")
set T2 to the ticks

tell application "iCab" to (Activate) & (GetURL "http://www.apple.com/")
set T3 to the ticks

tell application "Netscape" to (activate) & (GetURL "http://www.apple.com/")
set T4 to the ticks

return {T2 - T1, T3 - T2, T4 - T3}

I don’t have the other two browsers installed to test but this should work for Safari and IE (note that the required “delay” commands will add at least an extra 2 seconds to each time):

–Click here to open this script in a new Script Editor window.

–Use “Jon’s Commands” Osax <“http://www.seanet.com/~jonpugh/”>
set theLoc to “http://www.chemicon.com”

set start_time to the ticks
tell application “Safari”
open location theLoc
delay 1
repeat
if (do JavaScript “document.readyState” in document 1) = “complete” then
exit repeat
else
delay 1
end if
end repeat
end tell
set safari_time to ((the ticks) - start_time)

set start_time to the ticks
tell application “Internet Explorer”
GetURL theLoc
delay 1
repeat
if (do script “document.readyState”) = “complete” then
exit repeat
else
delay 1
end if
end repeat
end tell
set ie_time to ((the ticks) - start_time)

return {safari_time:safari_time, ie_time:ie_time}

thanks jon thqat works great

i ran into a problem when trying to add the other browsers

they are not scriptable

however on a simple visiual test Camino smokes everything else speed-wise
but, camino has java setbacks on some pages though

thx again
