Configuration

Browsertime is highly configurable, let’s check it out!

The options #

You have the following options when running Browsertime within docker (run docker run sitespeedio/browsertime --help to get the list on your command line):

      --pageCompleteCheckNetworkIdle  Alternative way to choose when to end your test that works in Chrome and Firefox. Uses CDP or WebDriver Bidi to look at network traffic instead of running JavaScript in the browser to know when to end the test. By default this will wait 5 seconds of inactivity in the network log (no requets/responses in 5 seconds). Use --timeouts.networkIdle to change the 5 seconds. The test will end after 2 minutes if there is still activity on the network. You can change that timout using --timeouts.pageCompleteCheck  [boolean] [default: false]

[boolean]
      --enableVideoRun                             Make one extra run that collects video and visual metrics. This means you can do your runs with --visualMetrics true --video false --enableVideoRun true to collect visual metrics from all runs and save a video from the profile/video run. If you run it together with --enableProfileRun it will also collect profiling trace.  [boolean]
      --video                                      Record a video and store the video. Set it to false to remove the video that is created by turning on visualMetrics.
