How to measure execution time in JavaScript
Wednesday, December 10, 2025
Measuring execution time is essential for optimizing code and identifying performance bottlenecks in your JavaScript applications.
As the creator of CoreUI with over 25 years of development experience, I’ve measured and optimized thousands of functions across various projects.
The most straightforward and accurate solution is to use console.time() for quick measurements or performance.now() for high-precision timing.
Both methods are built into modern browsers and provide reliable results.
