This allows users to get a solid grasp on how much impact certain web pages have on the performance of their browser. Even if that’s only an experimental feature at this stage, it can extend the Core Web Vitals platform that Google launched just a few months ago. To be more precise, the company has created a built-in HUD that displays real-time performance metrics while using a web page. Even more, it will also include a smoothness metric called Average Dropped Frame (ADF). That’s what Google reveals:
How can I enable the new benchmark HUD in Chrome?
This new HUD is meant to be placed in the upper right of a web page and will reveal some performance metrics that are needed to offer a good user experience when browsing a website. The core vitals currently include First Input Delay (FID), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), as well as Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS). Keeping these in check will ensure that the website is loading within an acceptable amount of time. As for that ADF smoothness metric, it can measure the GPU and rendering performance of a web page. The lower the ADF, the smoother the page will actually be. Do you want to try out the new Google Core Web Vitals performance metrics HUD? Let us know your decision in the comments area below.
